    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairperson, it is, indeed, a pity that we have to come to this kind of a situation; we also know that some Ministers too have refused to appear before their respective departmental committees. We know it. Parliament is established by the Constitution and we have the Standing Orders. Section 56 of the Constitution is well phrased. We know that Parliament is not a chief’s baraza. The very fact that we have now heard that civil servants are going on tours even when their Ministers are here, spending the same money which they are asking for here shows that they have contempt for this house. I know the ultimate responsibility rests with the Chair to rule that they are grossly out of order, and stop the spending of any money until you are satisfied that they take Parliament and everybody seriously."
