    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, in simple English even to a nursery school child any object, person, man or woman who stands between the Executive and the Legislature is a middleman or woman. We have been told those are the people who have been frustrating this process. We want to urge the Jubilee administration to veer away from middlemen. We heard the President saying: “Business brokers are fearing corruption in his Government.” If that is the style and manner of operation, God help this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, coming back to the point so that we do not engage in unhelpful public debate on this matter, it will be also instructive for you to inform the House whether in your discourse with your belligerent brother, you have reached an amicable agreement that now Article 110(3) of the Constitution will operate without any hindrance or not, so that we know whether we can put our machetes back into the sheath or we continue drawing them in helping you battle this impunity that has frustrated this Senate Chamber for such a long time. Secondly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, a mediation committee of three from either chamber is a little too small. This afternoon, I consulted with the Clerk and I had proposed that we have five from each House, so that they can propose three, we propose two. This is a learning process and we need to build capacity through this kind of process so that those who start the mediation will be reservoirs for future mediations as we go along.
