    "content": "Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. Parliament will generally miss the courtesy that you have had in this Senate. I want to confirm that I am one of the people who received your communication when we were on recess. The courtesy ends there because the courtesy is not extended in similar terms to our colleagues in the National Assembly. We are now at a constitutional crisis level and this is how it looks like. We are 15 months to the next general election. We have presidential candidates in the room and people who want to be governors. Chances are that we have at least 12 months or less of work. Mr. Speaker, Sir, what directions will you give the Senators like ourselves who are generating more Bills that are going to come into this Senate? Some are pending in your office with the ongoing crisis. How long are you going to be courteous and a gentleman as envisaged in this Constitution yet we are suffering? We only have three Bills now including the one by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale which the governors are challenging. We can only be proud to say that is the only Bill that has gone through the process. Therefore, we call upon you to save our reputation because it is at stake. Thank you."
