    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, under the Constitution, there are Bills which can only originate from the National Assembly and there are Bills which can originate in either House. In respect of these two Bills, they originated from the Senate and communication on them came under the Constitution and the Standing Orders of the National Assembly. The National Assembly processed these Bills from the First Reading to the Third Reading. The National Assembly proffered amendments to the versions of the Bills which came from the Senate. If, indeed, this House were to be mandated to interrogate whether a Bill coming from the Senate was procedurally passed, at what stage do we do so? Without saying that in law it should not be the case that one House oversees the other, my view is that if there were to be a challenge in terms of procedure that the Leader of the Majority Party is now raising, it would be raised when the Bill is communicated as it first lands here and not when the House has processed it and has made a resolution on it. In the context of these particular two Bills, if you would permit me, the National Assembly recommended various amendments."
