"content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mine is a general comment and concern about the way the two Houses are operating and that the systems are not working. I remember sometime back, one step forward we agree--- There was a time we actually had all the Bills coming and we were given paper work to show us which Bills had been agreed to and which ones were going to the National Assembly and then to the Senate. Then all of a sudden that seems to have disintegrated. I think we need to find a way forward so that we have a sustainable solution to this, so that it does not go on forever. This is a critical issues and it hinges on the image of the Senate. We almost feel that we wish we could handle our own Bills and sent them for assent to the President, which is impossible as it stands. This is a matter of grave concern that we need to address, once and for all. Maybe as the Senate Majority Leader seeks direction in this particular matter, we need to seek long term direction with regard to interaction between the two Houses."
