"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. We spend a lot of time working on Bills and other things. However, nobody tells us why our Bills do not move forward in the other House. In the first year, I sponsored a Bill on statistics and up to now, I do not know its status. Some of the Bills take one year to prepare, but when they go to the other House, there are a lot of amendments and contributions from Members and, at the end of the day, nothing comes out of it. Madam Temporary Speaker, let us work differently this year. It is incumbent upon the leadership of this House to follow up with the leadership of the other House to ensure that the business of this House does not come to a halt. Sometimes we are discouraged. We have the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, which does a good job. Therefore, it should advise us if certain Bills should not originate from this House. This needs to change this year. I, therefore, request the SBC to follow up, because we need answers this time round. We cannot lament all the time."
