    "content": "In any case the provisions of the Constitution and relevant legislation in the United States of America (USA) are very similar to our provisions here. Yet, in the USA, you will find that the Senate there wields not only effective legislative power and oversight, but for all intents and purposes, is regarded as the senior House, although the House of the Representatives and the Senate are co-equal. To that extent, I am also persuaded – and I am giving a personal opinion – that the National Assembly and the Senate are co-equals. They are co-equal in the sense that there is no law in this country which can be characterised as an Act of the National Assembly or as an Act of the Senate; it is always an Act of Parliament. Therefore, the authority and stamp of the Senate is always necessary in every legislation."
