"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to support what Sen. Omar has said. I would like to speak about some measures we need to take as leaders. I think there is a lot of “boxing” going on among leaders of various institutions. I think at times solutions can be sought and found without necessarily the public being aware. I think we need to develop a system where leaders of various institutions handle matters quietly through consultations. Should the consultations fail, then we can go ahead and express ourselves in public. Some of the issues are happening because of the teething nature of implementing the new Constitution. I am sure that this can be sorted out through consultations and through forums other than bashing one another and placing everything before the public eye, creating confusion among the same public that we lead. I would like to state that even if there are incidences or issues that may come up; we should liaise with you, in your office, and discuss the matters before bringing them on the Floor of the House. We should try to find a solution to the problems first. These issues should only reach the public ear when there is no other alternative. I really urge all leaders and not only the Senate but all institutions at all levels; be it the Judiciary or any other, to stop confusing the public. We have been raising issues, all the time that reveal that we are always at war. These wars should now come to an end."
