    "content": "Memorandum in a form that is respectable and acceptable to both the Houses. This did not happen. I want to commend the Speaker of the Senate and the Senate as a whole because we have decided that procedures are very key. We are then moving on to ensure that these procedures are put in place by taking the important step of selecting the five Members who I think are all up to the task. I hope that these five Members will look at the Memorandum together with the Members from the National Assembly. We should not anticipate that there will be disagreement. Indeed, there might be a disagreement, but it is only fair that since the process included both the Houses, then it should also, in conclusion, include both of them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, apart from that point, it is also important as the Mover said, that the Senate should stamp its authority and its place within Parliament. If a provision and procedure has been set out, the message from the Senate is that it is important to follow this procedure. We should ensure that all procedures are followed. We should follow the rules to the letter as stipulated in the Constitution and in the Standing Orders. I do not think we have gone beyond our mandate. I think we are on the right track and wish to congratulate you for your ruling and for the formation of this Committee. I am looking forward to this Committee working and delivering their recommendations with regard to the Memorandum from the President. I beg to second."
