Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I, too, like my colleague for Thebacha am having difficulty. I would have difficulty giving passage to a bill where the majority, 50 plus one, is not adhered to in a system whereby the majority rules and we seem to be saying here the minority rules. We are not doing justice to the country when we pass a bill which says that only three out of eight members constitutes a quorum, Mr. Chairman. We are a duly elected Legislature in the country and thereby we should abide by the Constitution of the country in the democracy. Majority rules. Thank you.
