    "content": "We are just 10 months to the elections. Some of us will be going home, to other occupations, positions or portfolios. We must look at this country 20 or 30 years to come. I congratulate Sen. Adan for this very good Bill. I hope it will get the support of not only this House but the National Assembly so that we can unlock the deadlock that we have suffered for the last three years, and appointments are done in the proper way. Where Parliament is supposed to approve, it is the two Houses that should do so. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if you look at different jurisdictions, for instance, Brazil and the United States of America (USA), the Senate is the sober House. Of course, we have acted that way but the law has not been very friendly to us. We have been treated as a second class House of Parliament. We have swallowed that for a long time. However, I hope sense has sunk. We can pass this Bill to unpackage Parliament. The framers of the Constitution were very categorical. They avoided touching on the Senate alone and the National Assembly alone. It was meant to embrace the bicameral structure of Government. Can we have that for our children who will be here 30 or 40 years to come? We should embrace this Bill and pass it. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I congratulate Sen. Adan. With those remarks, I beg to support."
