Thank you. This is a straight forward Motion and much has been said about Sen. (Dr.) Zani. I believe she meets the prerequisite of sitting on that seat. I think it is high time for us in the spirit of “handshake” to start working together as both coalitions and even to extend to the leadership of Committees.
