    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to congratulate the Senate Majority Leader for a job well done. The role that he plays is a fairly complex one because apart from being one of the political leaders of this House, he is also a bridge with the other Houses and the Executive. I think what he has done now is what he should be doing – having audience with His Excellency the President; having audience with the Attorney-General; writing letters where necessary and having cups of tea with the Senate Majority Leader in the National Assembly and other leaderships – so that we can get the business of this House done. So, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we want to encourage the Senate Majority Leader to continue on that path and to be more proactive. While on it, I would also like him to follow up on a Bill which was passed by this House – the Political Parties Bill which was introduced by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale – and referred by Message to the National Assembly. Several weeks have passed and we have not heard any more information about what happened to that Bill. So, maybe, the Senate Majority Leader could similarly follow up on that Bill and report in a similar manner to this House about what is happening to those Bills. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
