¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, before we proceed to main business: following the “Ditva” cyclone, the Opposition demanded action, and 29 Members including the Leader of the Opposition signed a motion on January 21 seeking a Special Select Committee. The Government Whips’ Office sent our nominees on February 5 to the Secretary-General, and now a month has passed. Why the delay in constituting this Special Select Committee on the “Ditva” cyclone?
