"content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, I also want to state and agree with my friend, Sen. George Khaniri. Sen. George Khaniri indicated that it appears that Parliament was being directed from some place. The Press also reported that Parliament was being directed to take certain actions from certain places. Madam Deputy Speaker, including the substantive Speaker and I have also had an occasion to be a senior Government official. When you visit State House, that is not where free discussions are held. The Press took the discussions there to mean they were directives. It is in this platform, here in Plenary that sensible amendments like this would be discussed that take into consideration the practical work of the Senate. This amendment is necessary. I know that it is absolutely necessary. This is because as we work in a manner that is practicable, we do not have Plenary because plenary comprises many Members. Let us allow Committees which comprise fewer Members to work, so that we are able to discharge the functions of the Senate in compliance with COVID-19 regulations."
