• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Ideally, chairmen are normally just conveyer belts, conveying information from the Executive. If, indeed, a Question was directed to the Cabinet Secretary and his answer is unsatisfactory, it is a sign of incompetence and can form a basis for impeachment.

But in such a case, it becomes difficult for other Members to seek further clarifications on the Statement. In case we are going to get the same unsatisfactory answers in two weeks’ time, then the Committee should move forward and impeach the ... view
