(1) The process of approval of an agreement shall by Parliament. commence in the National Assembly. (2) The National Assembly shall consider an agreement within thirty days of its submission to the National Assembly and shall forward its resolution to the Senate for consideration. (3) If within thirty days of submission of an agreement to the National Assembly, the National Assembly has not forwarded its resolution on the agreement to the Senate, the Senate shall commence its consideration of the agreement and shall forward its resolution to the National Assembly. (4) If both Houses — (a) approve the ratification of an agreement; or (b) do not approve the ratification of an agreement; the Speaker of the National Assembly shall, within seven days of the decision, notify the relevant Cabinet Secretary. Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, the import of this new clause is to make sure that when ratifications are requested at the National Assembly, they should be brought to this House for consideration. That will make sure that the Senate is in the know of what the “lower” House says and it is involved fully."
