    "content": "When we look at these Bills, they are close knit with this Bill of Sen. Kasanga on mental illness because they are looking at the people who are excluded and disadvantaged in one way or another. There is need to fast track these Bills so that the hard work that has been done by our clerks and legal team does not go in vain. I know that team of Dr. Okello is very keen about Bills. When you come up with Bills, they give you all the support that you need. The Senate team is always ready to do the research that is needed to enrich the Bill. Even when the Bill goes to public participation, this is also something that should be considered by both Houses so that they do not delay any Bill because a lot of resources and manpower have gone into it and our legal team has also done a lot with regard to these Bills. I support this Motion and I hope that the other House will be keen on ensuring that all the Bills that are there are legislated and brought in here so that eventually they can go to the next process of being assented to. Sometimes it really disturbs me when Bills go to the National Assembly and they are not fast tracked and they stay there for so long. Sometimes there are Bills that come here and do not take very long time before going back to National Assembly and they are fast tracked. I do not know the parameters that National Assembly uses to ensure some Bills are fast tracked and others are not. There is need for our sister House to really ensure that they are doing justice to the Bills that go there just the way we fast track any Bills that come from the National Assembly and we ensure that we give the Bills the justice that they require so that they do not lapse. I support this Motion. I thank you."
