    "content": "and Parliament is that the two colleagues including yourself, Sen. (Dr.) Machage, have responded. We passed the formula last Wednesday and transmitted the same to the National Assembly the same day. The law gives them latitude of 60 days and we are not in control. They can decide to do it immediately or decide to extend the time. They have the liberty to extend even for one more year. Given those circumstances and given that these are things that we should clear by the end of this month, we had to introduce the Bill. You must also recall that by the time the Division of Revenue Bill is published in March, that is the same time the Bill is ready. Rules are very clear that we do not anticipate debate. We work on the basis of what is already available. All is not lost and we should not try to read too much into it, including casting aspersions on the intentions of others or which House is superior or inferior. Those are unnecessary issues. If I were Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., I would not be talking about the elephants in the room. That expression was applicable when there were elephants but I think for us the more appropriate one would be the lions on the highways."
