Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you allow this method to proceed, I foresee danger in the future in terms of procedure. Members will be going to their committees during the making of Bills. When they come back, they will agree with a Bill, but two or three may not agree on a few things.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is very challenging to be on this side of the Chamber, but I totally agree with the contributions of Sen. Linturi and Sen. Khaniri. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for us to make important contributions to the changes in our Constitution. The country is following.

28 Apr 2021 in Senate:
Sorry for that. When you attend the sitting virtually, you sometimes miss some communication. You made a Communication giving each Senator 10 minutes and she has moved a Motion requesting for 10 minutes. I have a problem with that.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am trying to help Sen. Farhiya not to go that direction.
