    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to congratulate the Committee. Most committees in this House do a very good job and I would like to congratulate them. However, I have had a number of Statements to this Committee that have gone unanswered or were not satisfactory dealt with. I am wondering because I was listening very keenly to find out what happens to those and I have not heard anything. Perhaps, we could be told what happens in cases where a lot of time has lapsed and the answers to the questions we have asked have not been forthcoming. They have now fallen off the report of the Committee without even a mention as to whether or not in future, these are still being considered or still being checked on. That said, I would like to congratulate most of our committees. I think this House does a fantastic job regarding committee work and we value the work that is done by the committees. However, we would like to see that a lot of the questions that we ask, come back to us with satisfactory answers or stating the next course of action with regards to follow through, so that we are not just seen to be shouting and nothing else is coming out of these Statements. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, actually, since the beginning of this House, we have brought very many Statements and I have noticed that a lot of the issues go unresolved. It begs the question as to what happens next if a committee is in possession of a question that has been long outstanding and there is no mention as to how that will be processed going forward. I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
