No, on a matter of governance. It is about how this country can be run. Hon. Speaker, you are aware that the new Constitution has created a new dispensation in this country in the sense of having two governments which are distinct but interdependent.

Hon. Speaker, Sir, it is a week since I requested for the Statement. By then, I had requested to be informed whether that man had been transferred. Hon. Speaker, Sir, you know how mischievous those people can be.
