Mr. Speaker, Sir, recently, the media graded Cabinet Secretaries. Some were given “A”, others “B” others “E” and others were even recommended for dismissal. So, when I describe a Cabinet Secretary as enthusiastic, I am actually complimenting him. He is eager to work. He is ready to go.

I hope that we will quickly approve this list of membership of ...
