    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to add my voice on this important matter. I will start by congratulating you on the way you have handled it. As Members of the Senate are aware, I have been away for a while. The news of the advisory opinion by the Supreme Court is something I got when I was away. I was very happy and excited about it. I had a feeling that this House was moving towards a very dangerous direction. As I stand here, I want to add one word to this whole game of consultation between you, our Speaker, and the Speaker of the other House with regard to how Bills have been coming to Parliament. My observation is that the Bills in the Senate are so far four or five. The National Assembly is talking about Bill No.37. The three arms of Government; the Judiciary, the Executive headed by the President and the Legislature headed by the two Speakers, should take another angle that has to be brought into play. Many of the Bills that are going through the National Assembly, I stand to be correct, emanate from the Executive. The Executive suggests what they want done. The fact that the Bills land at the National Assembly first rather than to the two Speakers of Parliament does not mean that the Bills--- The two Speakers should discuss and I want to ask; do the three arms of Government ever meet? We need to ask this question so that the advisory opinion from the Supreme Court is looked at. There should be a meeting of the three arms of Government."
