Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I can assure you that they are enjoying immensely, but I will obey you. I reluctantly withdraw and apologize. I can see some of my colleagues nodding in approval. I can never call Sen. Haji a voting machine, but he knows that there are some voting machines in this House.

Although each university has an Act covering it, this is a generic law that covers education.

Let me end so that other colleagues can contribute by urging this House, that this Bill is a liberator. It will liberate our children, your children and the children of the people we represent. That after the passage of this Bill, no head teacher in this country will ever withhold a certificate of any child, regardless. That opens up an avenue and unleashes the potential of every child to go to the job market and compete; to move to the next level and find their bearing, including the children of the protesting distinguished Senator.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is like Senior Counsel, Sen. Orengo, knew what I was going to say. I agree with him entirely.
