    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am happy that you have pronounced yourself on the matter of the threatened disregard of invitations to come to the Senate. I want to just give this information. Today there was a meeting of the Committee on Security, Defence and Foreign Relations, but I noticed that the Cabinet Secretary concerned did not show up. I have also noticed that in the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries and other Committees where I attend, there has been similar absence. My point is that the deliberate and willful absence of these invited officials is something that is recurring. It is reaching a level that it can be regarded as defiance or impunity. I want to request your good office, as the Chair of Chairpersons, to invite our various Chairpersons. You should have dialogue and report on this matter with them, so that you become alive to the recurrence and prevalence of the kind of behaviour. This is because you are the repository of the authority of this House. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
