    "content": "The issues that have been raised, indeed, by the Leader of the Majority Party and supported ably by hon. Jakoyo, are grave. I listened to my colleagues on the Floor and I noticed that many of us are losing sight of the fact that the issue that we are supposed to be dealing with is whether or not we have the skills to negotiate where there is friction. That is the fundamental fact that we should be addressing. When the Senate calls this House school boys and school girls, when we call the Senate a mongrel, we make matters worse. I was taught over three decades ago that when institutions differ, the best way to resolve the differences is to speak to each other directly and not through the media. Many times we speak to the Senate through the media and from the Floor of this House. The fact is that if the Senate is concerned about seniority, quite apart from the volume of work that we generate, which hon. Gumbo has ably explained, two other points that make it clear that this House is superior are in the Constitution."
