"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I take that point of information very positively because the current Act says that the National Assembly is a mandatory recipient of all regulations but the Senate is not. So, this Committee must also help us to ensure that we have a good footage. Finally, as a nation we chose bicameralism. Bicameralism is like polygamy. We chose to have two Houses of Parliament. It is like choosing to have two wives. You have to live with it. The problems between us and the National Assembly will not go away on their own. It requires some soberness and reflection for us to harmonise and iron out some of these inconsistencies. Let this Parliament not be known for the fights between the two Houses. Let it be known for having come up with right framework that entrenched bicameralism in this country."
