    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I believe I am just responding to this particular Bill in reference to what happened this afternoon. So, Sen. Olekina, kindly bear with me because what happened this afternoon is really hurting, not to the Government but to the Senate. It is not really right for some Members to say that this is trash because it is not a useful Bill. I believe there is a way, at the Committee level, that we can amend or, maybe, improve on the Bill as it is. However, all is not lost. So, I support this particular Bill and I wish Members should take that particular direction to make sure that we, as the Senate, can generate Bills from our level and push it to conclusion, instead of us just allowing Bills to come through the National Assembly to our end. For our side, we will introduce as many Bills as possible. We need to get serious as a House to see that the Bills introduced in the House go through for the benefit of everybody. This is because we have a committee level where we can bring on board also the members of the public to strengthen these particular Bills. We cannot just say that we have lost it; we have all opportunities to make sure that we strengthen this particular initiative. So, I request our brothers and sisters on the other side that it is not really good to hurt this particular Senate. It is not for anybody’s interest. Let us contribute to the business of this particular House and make sure that the Senate stands together whenever issues happen. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
