    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I take this opportunity to congratulate you for that specific Message. Such are the times you feel proud as a legislator when you look at the processes being undertaken to pass a Bill in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution. When this House, or when this country established the new framework of a bicameral Parliament, it foresaw this kind of heavy debate and healthy interaction between the Senate and the National Assembly. In the Communication that you have shared with us today, we have two Bills. One has been approved by the National Assembly in totality where they agree with the Senate as it were. In another, they have proposed several amendments. This is how a bicameral Parliament should work. I want to encourage you and the leadership of this House to embrace a cordial working relationship. As we move towards the end of this session, we should reach out to the National Assembly so that the over 21 Bills that are still pending in the National Assembly should be prioritized for us to receive these kind of responses. Where they agree with us, we process them into law. Where they propose amendments, they should forward them to us so as to allow us to conclude this legislative process."
