    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I express concern over the fact that CSs are not appearing in some of the committees that they have been summoned or invited to appear. This being such a critical question, because the census is coming on August, can the Office of the Clerk make sure that there is confirmation that the CS will turn up? As Sen. Wetangula has pointed out, 10 years ago, there was a big controversy about the census. In fact, the census results in three counties were suspended and were not taken into account for purposes of planning as pronounced in the result. The census is important. For those who read biblical history, probably, Jesus would never have been born in Nazareth if there had not been a census on that year when Judea, for purposes of census, was considered as part of Syria. Probably, that birth in that manger would not have taken place. So, if they could accurately do it 1000 years ago, we can do it in 2019. Today, we had an important meeting of the Committee of Justice and Legal Affairs and the CS did not turn up. We need a repetition of Article 153 to be made clear that the appearance of CSs before the Senate is not an option. When they are summoned or invited to appear, they are under constitutional duty to do so. This question is so critical. I knew the controversy that it raised at that time. It went to court and took so many years to resolve."
