“Wherever anybody is found wanting, our stand should be be that people should occupy offices based on their performance there is no point if somebody is not registering successes for such person to continue to be there but that is if you give that person the necessary tools to fight.
“So we should give them the necessary tools and then we hold them accountable.
“We would do that in addition to meeting the president and it is not going to be only the senate president I will make sure that I have my colleagues, my counterpart in the House of Representatives because this is a national question.
“I can discuss with the president alone but I want the national assembly to come hard on this so we would try to do that.”
The upper legislative chamber unanimously adopted the motion.
