"content": " There are several points of order which have been raised, but just to stick on the point taken by Sen. Murkomen and maybe to clarify and to let you know that the Office of the Speaker of the Senate has consistently sought concurrence from the Speaker of the National Assembly on the Bills that we have taken to them under Article 110 (3). In a case like this one, the Speaker of the Senate has taken issue invariably with the Speaker of the National Assembly on why Bills should be passed and then taken to the President for assent when it is common knowledge that the Senate was not involved right from the word go. I would also maybe like to cap it by saying that although you say that the President has nothing to do with legislation, no Bill can become law unless and until he assents to it. I think we need to look at those positions so that the public is clear on this issue. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
