    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to be heard in silence. I appreciate the sentiments of my good brother, Sen. Sakaja. With tremendous respect, allow me to share my opinion and why I feel it is getting frustrating to sit in this House and watch this House, through its committees, be led from outside. This is the problem that we are facing as a House, where we have the Majority led by the Minority. The Leadership of this House has no time to sit in the Senate, consult and listen to what the backbenchers have to say. With a lot of respect to the Majority Leader, there is no way you can introduce a name into this Chamber this afternoon. You have been in Parliament for the longest time. No Member of this House has the Report and so, we do not understand what informed the recommendation of the person that you want us to pass. Furthermore, we have not done any consultation or due diligence to establish that the Committee did any due diligence on this person. Mr. Temporary Speaker, please, manage and ensure that we have the right and time of what we are required to do as legislators, for the great benefit of the people that we represent. The Equilization Fund Advisory Board is not a small committee. This Fund has not been operationalized for the longest period of time. Probably, this is the first time. We want good representation. We know our counties for the longest time are supposed to benefit from this Fund and have not. Please, with a lot of respect to the Senate Majority Leader, wherever you people get instructions from, we want to perform our duty in this Parliament as legislators."
