    "content": "Madam Temporary Chairperson, I seek to propose further amendments to the amendments which have been proposed by the Senate Leader of Majority. I want to propose a further amendment to Regulation 4. Madam Temporary Chairperson, I propose to add category (e) which reads as follow:- “A person who has been elected or nominated and is serving as a Member of the Senate or the National Assembly and served for at least one term to be conferred in the rank of the Chief of Burning Spear (CBS).” Madam Temporary Chairperson, I want to propose this because if you remember the Bill we just passed last week on the National Flag and Emblems, in the pecking order on that Bill, offices of the National Assembly and the Senate, are ranked in a category of people who are all automatically conferred because of their positions. For example, the Chief Justice, the Speakers and the Governors are all awarded these honours automatically. It is unacceptable, in my view, that all those people will be awarded honours and will sit in accordance with Regulation 10. However, if you are a Member of the National Assembly or of the Senate and you have not been given that honour, then you do not fit into that category. It is important that we synchronize this with that pecking order that we have in the National Flag and Emblems Bill, which we proposed in the Bill last time."
