    "content": " I have given the Leader of the Majority Party time so that we can understand where we are. We are not debating this. This is not the Second Reading. In simple terms, the National Assembly had made proposals for the gradual transfer of functions. The Senate rejected that proposal by the National Assembly saying that we do not have power and that under the Constitution, it is their mandate to decide on issues of devolution. Right now, the Leader of the Majority Party has rejected this proposal. In other words, we have gone back to where we were as the National Assembly. That is where we are. You need to consider whether you want to agree or disagree with the Senate. You need to consider whether you want to agree with the Senate that we should not have gradual transfer and that it should be rapid because the Senate has authority over devolved functions. That is what you need to consider. If you agree, then we will have a voice call on it. That is how I understand it. Can I have one or two Members contributing because I am looking at the time and I really want to press us so that we clear this before the time is up? Member for North Horr, I see you are on the queue."
