Those affected are Sen. Sakaja and Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka. I am not certain whether this will fall under the purview of that Committee. A direction from the Chairperson would help because I do not see the reason as to why a Senator who is currently sitting should be affected by the default of their predecessors."}
