"content": "Lords. To that extent, you can see the significance of the Senate as the „upper‟ House. It is us who can perform the best functions of Parliament as a legislative and judicial body. Historically in England, election petitions were decided by Parliament itself. It sat and determined whether there had been proper elections and their decisions to that effect. That changed later on. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, going to the body of the decision you have made, it is not only the decision, but also the arguments you have made in support of that decision. It will be used, not only here, but in other Parliaments. I would propose that every year, we should compile a booklet containing the decisions of the Speaker. Those decisions can be circulated to the county assemblies. They can be proper guidance to the way our county assemblies operate. I congratulate you. This is a good decision and should go to the annals of our history."
