    "content": "Whereas I might agree with Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, but I would also like to differ. What the National Assembly did was to change and fundamentally alter the configuration of the representations to the Pan African Parliament (PAP). As much as hon. Shukran is a member of the Wiper Democratic Party and also a member of the CORD Coalition, I think the Senate needs to first and foremost, assert itself on the matter of how many representatives come from the Senate and how many come from the National Assembly. If we do not pronounce ourselves on that matter, the National Assembly will arbitrarily introduce amendments to Motions that are generated from this House. Therefore, the critical issue is that this matter must be debated to a point where the Senate pronounces itself on what kind of representation and what is the proportion of membership by the Senate to the PAP. Then, I will agree with Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale’s recourse that we sit down as parties or coalitions to resolve what might be outstanding."
