    "content": "Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to add my voice to what the rest of the Senators have said. Let me begin by first, congratulating the Senate Majority Leader for moving this Motion and the Senate Minority Leader for seconding it. This is a fairly straightforward matter that requires very great prudence on the part of the National Assembly leadership. However, this leadership did not take the bait and show this prudence. Why I say this is because Article 95 is very clear on the role of the National Assembly. Article 96 is also very clear on the role of the Senate. However, although this shows the distinct roles of the two Houses, Article 110 makes it complimentary that the two Houses have a complementary relationship; that is, to ensure that the institution of the two Speakers is highly respected. And because of this, it requires that before any House considers a Bill, the Speakers of the two Houses must actually ascertain and resolve any question whether it is a Bill concerning counties. That was the prudence that was needed by the leadership of the National Assembly."
