    "content": "In this Senate, this is the first time again that history is being made; that we have a lady of no mean achievement. She is somebody who has distinguished herself in various capacities in leadership and again, as luck would have it, we sit together in the Senate Committee on Education. We know the kind of Bills we have been generating from that Committee and the kind of input she has been giving to the Committee. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have no doubt whatsoever in my mind that Sen. (Prof.) Kamar will be equal to the task placed upon her shoulders to be your able and worthy deputy. I wish her well in this journey. Again, it is a journey of learning for all of us. From the kind of edict, practice and experience she has had, in anything that we enter into, is a learning curve. She is not going to fall short of that learning curve. I am sure that she will stand tall and assist you in this momentous work of pushing this Senate forward and generate Bills, which eventually become Acts of Parliament for the betterment of this nation. I wish her well in her new career. Whenever she looks upon us and asks for our support, she will willingly get that support, just as much as we give you support. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also thank my colleagues and other Senators who sought the same position, but saw it fit to step down and withdraw for her to come through without voting. I thank them because that is again a sign of selflessness that they have given and shown this country. I wish her well. Thank you for this opportunity."
