"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I did not say the Senators peddle lies but I emphasised that the Constitution upholds us from uttering falsehood or defamatory statements. Taking advantage of the immunity of Parliament to insult Members left, right and centre is not good. There is a level of civility we must maintain. We took this position intentionally as a House and we said we are a mature institution. People used to say it in an insulting manner but being a House of elders, it is important. It is honourable because elders in the African culture represent maturity and wisdom. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, your grey hair is a representation of wisdom. That is why you said you did not want to dye your hair because it is a representation of wisdom. 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"
