Hon. Speaker, we had invited the Cabinet Secretary. However, he has not appeared before us because he had an official visit outside the country. Therefore, we could not handle that. You are not ready? We are not ready. How much time do you want? One week.

I do not have a response. I had engaged him, and he is aware that I do not have it. I do not know why he rose and said the same. This is very unprocedural.

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Julius Melly is on a point of order. Hon. Temporary Speaker, you have raised a pertinent issue. There is what we call ‘deemed produced power.’ I once sat in the Public Investments Committee on Commercial Affairs and Energy. We were investigating...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise to support the annulment of these regulations. I agree with the mover, Hon. Mbui, that the State must ensure we adhere to the Constitution.
