    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. From the outset, I rise to fully support and associate myself with the Statement made by the Majority Leader. This is one of those rare occasions where I fully agree with my friend, Sen. Murkomen. In moving the Statement, the Senator went very deep into the legality and constitutionality of this matter, and he was very eloquent. I do not want to venture into that. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Constitution we passed in 2010 establishes the Houses of Parliament and it is explicit that it consists of two chambers; the National assembly, which is the “lower” chamber and the Senate, which is the “upper” chamber. The least I expect is mutual respect for each other when the two Houses are relating. If any issue arises, then proper channels as provided for in law should be followed to resolve those issues rather than the tirade that we all witnessed yesterday in the National Assembly. What I see in the other chamber is some excited first-termers who are mesmerised by the fact that they are Members of Parliament. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
