    "content": "of our responsibilities. Therefore, if you find Houses divided, and talking about the issues that are well known, then it becomes a state of jeopardy. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will follow structures and functions the way you said. The Members of the National Assembly need to be given a chance, God forbid, to pass through the Senate so that they can learn and be cleared to be the representatives of the people. I think when they are down there, they do not know their mandate. They need to be taught and sensitized, so that they can understand very well what the Constitution is all about and what it needs from them. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are so many Bills that we pass here which when they reach the National Assembly, they stick there. They are even being given an opportunity of going for Mediation. What is it all about? It is because of the rivalry we are creating. It is high time that the National Assembly needs to be ‘scooped.’ I repeat this National Assembly thing is a House that needs to be taught some lessons."
