(Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is true that is the tradition of this House, but it is not written anywhere. A Bill can be seconded by any Senator. Ordinarily, when Members of the Opposition are present, we give them an opportunity, but they are not here. I do not speak for them and I do know why they are not here because this is Senate time. I just wanted to highlight that there is nothing wrong in a Member from the Majority side seconding this Bill."}
