    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker.When a Question is asked by a Member here, it has to go to the Clerk of the Assembly and then to the concerned Ministries. Sometimes I am even forced to go to the Ministries myself. Sometimes I would find out that the Questions have not even arrived there. The Minister would then say that they would not answer those Questions until the due process is followed. We have a problem. Questions are being asked but they are not reaching the concerned Ministries on time, hence the Ministries cannot take action. The second problem we have is the venue for answering those Questions. Last week, I asked my Committee Clerks severally about the time we were supposed to meet, but we could not even get a venue. Members should get a notice early enough on when they are coming to hear their Questions being answered. We cannot tell them to come tomorrow yet most of them are still up country, especially on Tuesdays. I think we need more time. Also, all of us, including the Clerks-at-the-Table and the Committee Clerks, should do what they can as fast as possible so that Questions are answered on time. The problem is not only with the Departmental Committee Chairs but also with the system that we are using now. Thank you.
