    "content": "Unfortunately, hon. Speaker, Sir, we also have very young men in that House who have a lot of vigor and who feel misplaced. I really want to plead with them that next time there is an opportunity provided for by the law, they should represent the people in a more vibrant House like the National Assembly, where real work is required. That way, they could utilize their expertise and energy in serving this country. Otherwise, I want to really plead with them that many of us are concentrating on how to sort out the problems of this country and not on the issues about supremacy, who is big and who is small. Many hon. Members have said that whether you are big or not that will be determined by your responsibilities as provided by this Constitution. If we continue, because it is only this Parliament that has power to make and amend laws, we will also end up suggesting that these people sit three times a year, because we will want them to remain there, but let them give us an opportunity to serve this country. We can always ask them to engage with us when they feel that there are some things which they want us to give them, or some work for the Senate. They can only consult us because we are the only people who can give more work to them through the amendment of the law."
