"content": "I want to confirm to the House that there is an initiative chaired by Hon. Speaker on harmonising the working of the processes in the House. In the past, we had the Senate taking the National Assembly to court on passage of laws. We do not want to continue with one arm of the House taking the other one to court and using public expenditure on the wrong thing. So, there is a process already in place and there is check list that has been agreed upon in terms of how Bills will be processed and signed between the two Speakers, so that by the time they are processed, we know they have gone through the process. I just want to tell the Members that the challenges have been noted and we must accept that the Senate is only seven years old. The previous Senate died in infancy. We hope this one will not die because of the kind of things we are seeing. But the National Assembly has been there in decades and so, there is more experience or institutional capacity that is here that is not there. Perhaps as the bigger brother, it is our role to help them come along and create the capacity that they need."
