    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill. First of all, I would like to congratulate the Member of the National Assembly who came up with this Bill, Hon. Sakaja. I would also like to congratulate both houses for partnering in terms of ensuring that this Bill is moving in the constitutionally required procedure. In the past, many lies have been peddled around that the two Houses are unable to work together or that there is an ulterior motive from any of the two Houses and should be denied Bills. That is far from the truth. If there is anything that demonstrates that a bicameral legislature works, it is the enactment of Bills. The fact that the other day we passed one Bill by Sen. Sang, a Member of this House, and now we are discussing a Bill that was generated by a Member of the National Assembly, demonstrates the fact that our bicameral legislature is working. These two Bills are Private Members’ Bills. Therefore, it is a testimony that the new Constitution is working, bicameral legislation is working The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
