Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would urge you to continue on this line of discourse and diplomacy together with our brothers. Sen. Billow has said that the consequence of not following what is stipulated in the Constitution is not just bad for those who violate the Constitution, it is compounded by those who see the Constitution being violated and say nothing about it. It is the commitment of this House to defend and protect the Constitution. I plead with His Excellency the President that this House has shown bipartisanship, he should look at the Bill that was taken before him purely on its merit, as to whether or not the process has been a legitimate one. The answer would be without doubt that we cannot have that Bill pass through and enacted without putting into consideration what the Senate did. It cannot be wished away. I know the Governors are with us totally on this matter. Mr. Speaker, Sir, finally, Sen. Murkomen will forgive me because he is the one who told me this yesterday, that the county governments should not be treated as children who are told: “Now you can have this peremende or these potatoes.” What they deserve is stipulated in the Constitution. How they should get it is also laid out in the Constitution."
