    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, if you go to the courts, there is a system of checks and balances between the subordinate courts and superior courts. Among the superior courts, we have different courts within it so that within the Judiciary itself, there is a system of checks and balances. A bicameral system is established so that within the legislative authority at the horizontal level, there is also a system of checks and balances between the two Houses of Parliament. To that extent, I hope that we will appreciate that this Constitution desired that the National Assembly and the Senate are co-equal in so far as the legislative authority of Parliament is concerned. Some of the functions may be different, but they are co-equal in terms of the fact that the final product must bear the imprint of both Houses of Parliament."
