    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, the question that has been raised by Sen. Sakaja, makes a lot of sense. I do not think it was a point of order; that was a point of debate. If Sen. Madzayo thinks it should be postponed, which I can see is the mood of the House---. This House gives us the opportunity to say things for the record. There will be a record in this House in future regarding our process of constitutional debate so that it can be part and parcel of the record of this House. We are not just saying it for the sake of it, wasting time or eating into time for nothing but debating. As I said, Mr. Speaker, Sir, this process is critical. It ought to happen constitutionally within eight or 12 years from the last review, which may not happen any time soon but it may happen after the elections. The point I am trying to raise is that Bills are brought to this House for win or lose and to convince each other on a point. For example, some people are raising issues which might prompt me to asking myself if I was wrong. By the end of the debate and everyone having contributed, I might even be among the people who will vote “No” because it is about convincing each other. Someone could have a good idea but there is a better idea. I was making these comments having accepted that Sen. Orengo proposed a postponement which is important for people to do their personal research and appreciate The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
