    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice and congratulate Senior Counsel, Sen. Omogeni. We are privileged to have senior counsel in this Senate Chamber. That in itself qualifies this House to be the Upper House. We have the people who can argue out our case very well. The Constitution recognizes that there shall be two types of government; that is the national Government and the county governments. Once you have a Government in place, it is expected to have resources to run all the functions that are required to be run either at the national or county level. Secondly, the Constitution clearly stipulates that there shall be two Houses of Parliament; that is the National Assembly and the Senate. The Constitution clearly defines what the two Houses must do. Unfortunately, there has been a quarrel between the Senate and the National Assembly on the question of the Division of Revenue Bill or the Division of Revenue Act (DORA)."
