"content": "We do not need to start re-stating the obvious. It is said that you cannot ask a Question about a specific provision of the law because you are the lawmaker. Standing Order No. 42E clearly provides that the CS to whom a Question is referred to has 30 days within which to answer from the date he receives it. It is only the Chairs of Committees who are supposed to enforce that. If the complaint is that a Question is lying before a Committee without being responded to and the Chair of the Committee has not informed the House what could be pending, then we can only lay blame on the Chairs of the Committees. The Chairs of the Committees should make sure that once a Question is received by a CS, they begin counting time. The Question must be responded to within 30 days, so that the matter is over. If it is a Question by Private Notice, Standing Order No. 42E (2) provides that it should be responded to within three days because it is urgent. Those are the rules."
