We should take pro-active actions. This House formed a Committee to look into the aspects of the Constitution which require to be amended to strengthen the Senate. One of the main aspects is that we lack pro- active powers to stop the pilferage and the wastage before it occurs. As a House, we should recommend to the relevant Committee of this House to engage the Committee that was formed to look into the aspects that can be reviewed and include powers to stop this theft or pilferage before it happens so that we can play our role according to Article 96 of the Constitution."
