    "content": "I do not wish to add a lot of information to this Bill. I want to support what the Leader of the Majority Party has said. Anybody in this country is at liberty to participate during the law- making process, including the LSK. Therefore, they should be coming during the public participation or stakeholders’ consultations. They should not wait until when the Bill is in the final stages and they say that they want to come in. They do not have any opportunity in law. It is the same way they are trying to come in the Division of Revenue Bill stalemate which is clearly not their role at all, unless they want to do further public participation which they can do outside. They cannot summon the two Houses which are recognised in the Constitution. I urge the Senators to be very clear in their minds that this House has a role to play as stipulated in Article 95 of the Constitution. They should also read Article 96 of the Constitution on the role of the Senate. If there are some Senators who wish to be in this upper House, then they should identify a constituency and contest with the current Member of Parliament. If they win, they will definitely come to this House. There is no need of sideshows."
