I notice that the Senate can afford to table a Bill in the National Assembly and withdraw it. We give more time to Senate Bills compared to Private Members’ Bills in the National Assembly, which could be important to this country. With a lot of humility, I beg you to give more seriousness and time to Private Members’ Bills as we move forward."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to join the leader and trade unionist to say that I noticed there are many Senate Bills on the Order Paper, which are given priority in this chamber. Members, including myself, always prepare Bills tediously and send them to our legal teams. We take a lot of time to prepare those Bills, which hardly find their way to the Floor of the House. We give a lot of preference to Senate Bills, which are actually Private Members’ Bills from the Senate. They get a lot more time in the National Assembly. We need to give priority to our Members. I remember that I prepared many Bills in the 12th Parliament, but only one found its way to the Floor of the House, and it was not even completed. At the end of this Parliament’s term, you will read a long list of over 200 Bills prepared by Members which never found their way to the Floor of the House, yet the Bills from the Senate find their way here and Senators even have the temerity to withdraw them. We need to give Members of the National Assembly an opportunity to pass Bills in their name in this chamber. If we continue in the same manner, Members will feel discouraged. They will stop legislating and concentrate on oversight and other matters. Hon. Speaker, I beg you to make a fundamental ruling on which Private Members’ Bills get preference in this chamber."

As much as there could be other external forces, Parliament should be an independent institution.
