    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also join my colleagues in commending the Senate Majority Leader in representing us in this particular Bill. He has told the House that he spoke to the President and has also written to him. I want to know whether he also expressed concerns about other Bills. Right from day one, this House has seen Bills being passed by the National Assembly but not passing through this House for concurrence. The first one was the Division of Revenue Bill. I expected him to list all the Bills so that when he meets the President in person, he can express our concern; the concern of the Senate. Besides that, our mandate is being encroached upon by the Judiciary and, therefore, we cannot proceed. This is a crisis for this House. I would like you to take a further step and look into those two issues. I know that the President can sort this out and put the Judiciary and the National Assembly in their right places. Every institution has a defined mandate. I do not see why the Judiciary should encroach on our mandate or why the National Assembly should encroach on the mandate of the Senate and forward Bills to the President without the consent of this House."
