    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to congratulate the able professor on her election as the Deputy Speaker and for the unanimity, which she has been elected. I want to offer two suggestions with all humility: First, Sen. (Prof.) Kamar, you come to this office knowing that this has been a divided House. This House has been acrimonious in its posturing. This House has been disunited. You have seen the unanimity with which we have elected you, and I want to suggest to you to do as best as you can; bend backwards and sideways to ensure that either side or both sides are talking to one another. I also want to offer my second and last suggestion because other Members are interested. Ladies are considered marginalized in this country. Irrespective of how learned and educated you are, you have known the struggles through which you have gone to get to the position you are. Use the position that you have been elevated to currently, to fight against marginalization, to ensure that you give opportunity and recognition to those who have never spoken and those who are marginalized in this House. You have a unique opportunity to ensure that there is equality in this House and everywhere. Lastly, I want to suggest to Sen. (Prof.) Kamar; because mine are merely suggestions, that use your office to enhance the influence of the Senate. Previously, we would be very hot in here and make suggestions, but we would be talking to stones. Therefore, wherever you are able to go, enhance the influence of the Senate. Enhance it with the Speaker, Members and the Executive and ensure that the Senate as an institution 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."
