    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am usually not wordy and Hon. Oundo’s contribution actually picked on exactly what I had wanted to contribute. The responsibilities of PIC have clearly been spelt out under Standing Order No. 206(6). They have also been given what they do not need to do in Standing Order No. 206(7). It is very clear. I am shocked because the new Constitution introduced bicameral houses and in the process, increased the number of committees in the National Assembly. In due course, it has caused a lot of confusion. There was a lot of excitement from Members to a level where there was confusion between the two Houses. You find the role of this House encroaching on the role of the other House, most specifically the Senate. Even in this House, the role of one Committee encroaches on the role of another Committee."
