"content": " I beg to move that the Houses of Parliament (Bicameral Relations) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.44 of 2023) be now read a Second Time. This is an important piece of legislation. It deals with the interrelationship between the two Houses: the National Assembly and the Senate. Primarily, the Bill seeks to give effect to Articles 109, 110, 113, 114, and 118 of the Constitution to foster bicameral relations by prescribing procedures for ensuring seamless consideration of the legislative business of both Houses of Parliament. It also seeks to provide a framework to guide the legislative procedures of a cohesive and effective Parliament. The Bill provides very important objectives. They are contained in Clause 3. I will briefly point out the very salient features of these objectives. First, it seeks to provide a seamless framework for conducting bicameral matters between the two Houses. Two, it outlines the Bills on which question of joint resolution by the Speakers under Article 110 of the Constitution."

You know this has been a very contentious issue. We have had too many matters ending up in court and the Supreme Court. We have let our relationship between the Members of Parliament of the National Assembly and the Senate get out of hand. When we appeared in the NG-CDF case, you know there was even a purported representation from the Senate opposing a Bill originating from the National Assembly."
