    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Motion. As stipulated in Article 115 of the Constitution, every step is indicated to show how a Bill that has been referred should be handled. As Sen. Orengo said, in this Article there is nowhere written “National Assembly or Senate.” It is indicated “Parliament.” For that reason, even a layman would know that since these two Houses exist, the two Speakers should have been summoned and told that this Bill has been referred. If for any good reason the Speaker of the Senate were absent, the Speaker of the other House would have noted and known that this is a shared responsibility that needs to be addressed. From the detailed Communication that you gave, it looks like the National Assembly went ahead and dispatched this business, as if it was any other Bill that originates from that House. It never bothered that we exist. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is paramount that we follow the law and stand by it. In this case, as proposed by the Senate Majority Leader, the list has five Members. This Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Bill is very critical. In the morning, issues to do with procurement were being debated on television. A number of experts had a discussion on what is happening with regard to corruption which is related to procurement. 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."
