    "content": "If any Members who are there have any issues that they would want to raise in-house, they raise them and you agree on how you will transact committee business. When you see the secretariat telling the Chairperson not to start before they take you through what you will transact, it is just because they want to inform you. We want to make the work of the committee clear. There is a point that was raised by Hon. Nyikal. I know that many of you have not read the Budget Policy Statement (BPS), notwithstanding that it was laid on the Table on Thursday. You can be taken through it quickly. Every Committee has a fiscal analyst. You can be taken away from the village where you might have been over the weekend and brought into the meeting. That way, I am sure you will interact from a position of knowledge. We are trying to do this as a way of bridging the gap that may be there because of the various activities Members engage in apart from doing the Committee work, Hon. Nyikal. That does not take away the necessity of every Member to really read through the documents that have been tabled, which may be relevant and necessary for you to participate in the discussion or debates in a Committee. That will be followed. We have given instructions to try to bridge that gap. I understand that we are bridging the gap that Hon. Nyikal has talked about. Then we may not need to suspend the plenary sittings because the House is still required to sit in the plenary."
