The Statements made by both the Senate Majority Leader and the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget is a matter that touches the mandate of this House. We, as a House, cannot fight with the National Assembly for the last six and a half years. We did that in the last Senate and we are still doing it. This is the moment to release ourselves from these shenanigans every year where we look at which House is more superior to the other. We are not here for that purpose.

It is the right time for us to call for the amendment of the Constitution. It will clearly sort out these issues that we always have with the National Assembly. It is clear that every time the National Assembly has issues, it says that the Senate has done a, b, c, d, or something that is not right. We cannot keep on doing that. We are always hearing stories where they say a particular matter does not affect the Senate. I do not see anything under the sun that is before the National Assembly that does not affect county governments ...

For example, the amendment to the Health Bill clearly touched on the mandate of the Senate. However, they sneaked it to State House for it to be signed ...
