    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to join my brother, the Majority Leader, Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, in his assertions. I want to tell you that since you started discharging your responsibility as the Speaker of the Senate, you have never let this House down, neither have you ever let this country down. That demonstrates your conscious ability to discharge your responsibilities not only under the Constitution but to ensure that we are able to transform this country into a truly bicameral system of Parliament. I think you have exercised extra ordinary restraint and patience and I think that has been an inspiration to all of us. So, I join my friend, Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, in lauding that communication from the Chair and hope that practical steps will be followed so that we can discharge the responsibilities of this House amicably in a manner that defines the decorum of this House and the seniority is placed both as a political fact and a constitutional reality. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would be looking forward to the other communication so that this House may be properly guided and the nation will be the paramount winner in all that we discharge in this Senate."
