    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also want to make my contribution as the rest of my colleagues about the issue that we were discussing earlier on. Unfortunately, the person whom my first and foremost comment would have been directed to has decided to take French leave. He did so the minute you gave me the microphone. Probably he knew what was coming his way. I wanted to address myself to Sen. Sang. In the community that I come from, and by extension you, one of the cardinal rules that we believe is that when you are going to war, the person leading the troop should justly and deeply within believe that we shall win the war. I earlier on had a chance to listen to Sen. Sang and you could not help but hear the voice of a man who has completely given up on the role and place of the Senate in this country, and therefore, has decided to consider his options elsewhere; or run for probably another seat other than the Senate. For that reason, I did not want to share in his sentiments but given the nature of his arguments and the fact that they are a true reflection of frustration of many of us in this House who feel that it is a about time that as Senators, we deeply reflect on the enormous amount of work and the huge task that we have been given by the people who elected us to come to this House and consider how we transact business. I agree with the Senators who have questioned genuinely about the leadership of the House from both divides. It is political cheekiness for somebody to stand up and point an accusing finger on the leadership of the Majority side while everybody knows that for business to be transacted in this House, you need support from the Majority and Minority sides. One of the reasons why this afternoon we have cleared our tray so quickly is that, while there was business, we did not have the Members to prosecute some of it. Is the person who is raising an accusing finger to the Majority side trying to mislead us to believe that it is only in committees with good representation from the Majority side that did not show up this afternoon? We all know that committees are constituted by Senators from both sides of the House. So, let us be sincere with ourselves.
