    "content": "Lastly, on how to make chairs much more responsive, I think that is one of the things we have not done especially as committees. I took the points by the Whip, Hon. Washiali that we have not utilised the full spectrum of our powers under Article 125 of the Constitution. I am yet to hear of any committee that has summoned any person within the Executive or any independent office and who, on declining, has moved to summon them and then taken the measures that are contemplated. I urge that the question you posed earlier is already contemplated by Standing Order No.25A. This Standing Order authorises you to prescribe such place as may be appropriate for such persons invited to stand for us to question them if there is need. I suggest that because the bar of this House is too far, you may designate what used to be the judges row as one such place and we make an example of any one individual who may be summoned to answer to Parliament."
