    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that The Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bills No. 3 of 2020) be now read a Second Time. The Division of Revenue Bill is very important, not just for this House, but this country, our constitutional order and the management of the devolved system of Government. For the last seven years, this Bill has been passed in this House six times out of seven. The reason for that is obvious; that there were attempts in the first instance to deny this House the opportunity to participate in this Bill. Therefore, the Senate takes this Bill extremely seriously because we seized it through a battle, for this House to pass this Bill. Mr. Speaker, Sir, last year, we had protracted negotiations between us and the National Assembly on the passing of The Division of Revenue Bill that led to various cases; one in the Supreme Court and the other which is ongoing in the National Assembly. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
