    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Before I go to the substantive matter, you have raised some very good things that will improve how our Committees run. With your direction, I want us to go further to put name tags in Committee rooms. The story of introducing yourself in the committee is boring. Like in other jurisdictions, when somebody walks to a Committee room, the chairs should have name tags. We should also do it according to ranking. A Member does not need to introduce himself or herself. I am sure once our building is complete, we will have specific Committee rooms. However, we need to improve. We should also improve on how we ask Questions. Hon. Speaker, I have stood on Standing Order 44 (a) (5) because when Hon. Wamunyinyi — he looks like he was in Kanduyi Constituency — was making a Statement on behalf of the Committee, he talked of 47 Questions that the Committee dealt with last year. Standing Order 44 (a) (5) gives me a role to play. This being a House of records, I have all the Questions that went to committees. In our record, the Committee has 112 Questions. Tomorrow, I really want him to give a more substantive answer and tell the House what happened to other Questions apart from the 47. Maybe there was an error because the record shows that the Committee had 112 Questions and yet our ranking Members have talked of 47 Questions. He might not be ready now, but he can consult and make a more accurate statement tomorrow afternoon."
