    "content": "resolutions and recommendations made from Parliament are addressed to the Executive who Parliament oversights. If those resolutions and recommendations are not acted upon, it means there is a serious gap. This Bill tries to bridge that gap to ensure the resolutions and recommendations of Parliament are acted upon. Resolutions and recommendations are mandatory and the Executive should see how to include them in their policies. I totally agree with this Bill. Introduction of Part 6A is very timely. The amendment of Section 7 of the principal Act to ensure that there is no conflict between the law and whatever the ruling of the High Court. Having been in Parliament for the third time now, I think a lot of work is being done by Parliament through Committees. Parliament makes resolutions and recommendations, but implementation is the problem. When I was in the House Business Committee (HBC) of this Senate, there was talk of reintroducing the Committee on Implementation. I know there was such a Committee in the National Assembly at that time, but Executive did not take seriously the work of Parliament. Therefore, implementation of recommendations by Parliament was not taken seriously. When we put it in law, at least, we are taking it a step further so that the resolutions of Parliament are implemented. That way, Parliament will not be acting in vain. We should pass this Bill and give effect to whatever we do in Parliament. The Executive is oversighted by Parliament. There is no reason why resolutions passed by Parliament are not respected, adhered to and implemented to the letter by the Executive. I think rather than having the Committee on Implementation, this Bill will solve that problem of implementation. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
