    "content": "financial year is halfway and another one only 15 per cent. There is even a country that has not paid a cent, yet it is party to a treaty. As we domesticate treaties and bring them home, we believe that they are for the interest of the people. As we make these laws to actualise the provisions of the treaties and make them to serve the people, let us be serious on the treaties we sign and fully take up the mandate given to us. I am happy that this amendment will not allow anybody to hold the other hostage. In Clause 3, this Bill seeks to amend the principal Act by inserting a new section immediately after Section 8. It provides that:- ―The principal Act is amended by inserting the following new section immediately after Section 8— 8A. (1) The process of approval of a treaty shall commence in the National Assembly. (2) The National Assembly shall consider a treaty within fourteen days of its submission to the National Assembly and shall forward its resolution to the Senate for consideration. (3) If within fourteen days of submission of a treaty to the National Assembly, the National Assembly has not forwarded its resolution on the treaty to the Senate, the Senate shall commence its consideration of the treaty and shall forward its resolution to the National Assembly.‖ Therefore, the Senate shall not hold the National Assembly hostage and neither will the National Assembly be held hostage by the Senate because the processes spell out what should happen if one were to delay. I like this because it will allow us to implement our Constitution. It will also allow us to speak for the people and have a say in which treaties we will get into and not get into. I beg to support."
