    "content": "Order, Members! For the information of Members, including the Chair of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), who is walking away with one of his Members, I have given instructions that at every Committee meeting, there should be an order just like we have on the Order Paper. One of them should be prayers. I assume that you still say prayers. However, I am sure that you do not administer oath. There should be communication from the Chairperson or any other Member. Let us adopt this Statement with minor amendments. We have given instructions to replace messages by a brief from the head of the secretariat of that Committee. It will show the business that you have been called to transact on that particular day and time. For example, he can say that you are there to consider a petition and explain what it is about, so that all Members can know. Forget about the late comers. Those who are present who form quorum should at least know upfront the issues that they will be confronted with. The staff have been appropriately trained and instructed to make sure that this is always followed. I am saying this because I realised that many of you sometimes walk into committees from some debates in some other fora. I watch most of you in the morning. So, you might come there with a lot of those funny ideas. This will bring you up to speed with the business that you are going to transact. The brief should be brief. It should not take more than 15 minutes. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
