    "content": "a lot of consideration of whatever is proposed there, we have found ourselves in difficult situations. I wish to challenge colleague Senators – especially the younger ones who are enthusiastic about what it means to be an MP and what needs to be done – to study this Act of Parliament and see how we can make our work more effective. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, there is a proposal in the National Assembly and I also agree with the ruling. You will remember that towards the end of the term of the previous Parliament, there was a disagreement in the National Assembly and a report of a Member whose conduct was found to be disorderly was brought to the House. However, the House did not agree with the findings of the said committee. It puts you in an embarrassing situation when you chair the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Committee meeting and your report is rejected by the House. It is not fair. Part of what we may want to amend is the chairmanship of this committee. It is better chaired by a Member of the House other than involving the Speaker in such disputes. Anyway, that is a conversation that we need to have. In the same breadth and speed, I want us to conclude and dispense of this matter, just like we have done with the other three, then we can reserve all our comments on the placement of colleague Senators in the various committees in the subsequent Motion that shall be coming up. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I request the Senate Minority Leader to second this Motion. I thank you."
