ISLAMABAD: The outgoing senators on Wednesday called for ensuring supremacy of parliament and giving the Senate more powers, including a say in the money bill, and warned against rollback of 18th Amendment and introduction of presidential form of government in the country.
Making farewell speeches in the house, they also underlined the need for strengthening the federation by removing the sense of deprivation among smaller provinces and giving them control over their natural resources.
Mir Kabir Ahmad Shahi of the National Party said empowering the Senate would help remove grievances of the provinces.
He said the Senate must have a say in the money bill and a role in the prime minister’s vote of confidence.
