    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, just to use your own words, this Bill is time bound. I would like you to recall that this Bill and the Bill in Order No.9 were the subject of a press release by the Speaker of the National Assembly where he informed the country that we are sitting on Bills that are time bound and that he was asking the Senate to ensure that these Bills are passed timeously. Now, given that the National Assembly extended that period by nine months and they have waited from the first month up to the eighth, only coming now, would I be wrong in requesting you that before we go into the Second Reading, you come and read to us an apology from the Speaker of the National Assembly for imputing improper motives on our Senate and its membership collectively? Also, would I not be in order to request that in reading that apology, you also communicate to the country that should there be any threat of failure to meet that timeline, we, as the Senate, will not be to blame because they could have even given us that Bill in the second month after the adjournment, third and fourth month and so on and so forth? 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."
