    "content": "Take it to public participation, just the way the National Assembly does because we are two independent institutions that give different opinions. That means that if the Committee on Energy of the National Assembly is seized of a matter of high electricity bills, then the Senate Standing Committee on Energy will not be investigating that matter. That issue needs to be taken up. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish I had more time, but I shall say the following. Yes, we may want to appear as if we are compliant with the terms of modern structural adjustment policies, but we have to look at our situation. I will instruct my office to draft amendments and submit them, whether they pass or not. The time the Bill becomes punitive and starts hurting people, is when people shall say I wish I knew or listened. I wish I had more time, but I do not. Let us look at our situation here. Let us create legislation that fits our interest, but not that of Bretton Woods Institutions. I reserve my comment on whether I support or not. However, I know my submissions lead to one conclusion. I thank you."
