    "content": " Thank you for the timely guidance, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I was raising a point of concern that my colleagues had raised. We are ventilating on very critical national issues that will shape the implementation of the budget and probably inform the future budget-making process, yet the respective chairpersons who oversee various State Departments are not in the House. The best they can do to know what we are saying is to go and get second hand information from the HANSARD. That is why I was seeking guidance, through you, from the Majority Whip. I wanted to know whether he has express authority from the chairpersons of the respective committee to listen to our concerns, note them and hopefully pass them over to the relevant Ministry and State Departments so that they can take note of them. The amount being given is substantial. The role and importance of energy as an enabler of the Big Four Agenda cannot be over-emphasised. The concerns that we have about the high cost of energy and the loss in the distribution of energy are important. It would be practically unfair to the country not to discuss such issues even during this allotted day."
