    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Senate, as we say, is a House of records. The record is extremely stubborn. Sometimes we must also not appear to renege on every undertakings that this Senate has taken upon itself. Just before we proceeded for the recess, I recall, in the most casual and arbitrary manner, the National Assembly torpedoed the regulations that would have led to the establishment of the Senate Oversight Fund. We came to this Senate and the Senate Majority Leader, Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, led the charge and even asked that we suspend all business from the National Assembly until and unless we determine conclusively matters around that fund. So, what you have just done is to renege totally on the commitments that we took as the Senate to determine and consider and dispense of business from the National Assembly. So, all these business that is listed here today is business from the National Assembly. My view is that we finish the business that is listed a Senate Bills and the National Assembly Bills and business be suspended until and unless we make a determination on the oversight fund."
