    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I just want to bring to the attention of the House that it is clear that we are not the persons to draft that Statement. The Statement should be drafted by the Ministry. Whether as a Committee we were busy or not, it does not stop the Ministry from functioning. The delay is affecting our oversight role and delaying our representation role. I do not think the Government can take two or more than two weeks to provide a Statement on something that they do on a daily basis. Whether we travel today as a Committee or the Chair will be attending a conference for the whole of next week, that does not affect the deadline and the time the Ministry should take to provide a Statement. We are behaving as if the Chair of the Committee is the one to draft the Statement. The Chair of the Committee is just to relay the Statement from the Ministry to this House. That should not take even more than two or three days. So, I am not satisfied. I am very worried that this is delaying."
