    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in view of the Motion that was passed that we sit until we finalize the business which is on the Order Paper, we should go into that business. We know that we have now taken a vote on delegations of 25 Members on the Motions that have been passed. We now know that the Nominated Members, not all of them are here. They may be about seven. If you add to that, it comes to about 32 Members. That is nowhere near the threshold required for a constitutional amendment which takes into account not just the delegations but all the Members of the Senate. That is about 45 Members. You can take note that having voted five times and the vote was of 25 Members and adding the seven Nominated Members who are here, it comes to 32 Members and it falls far below what is required. Therefore, for caution and for my sister, we better proceed on this matter when we have a quorum and we shall support her rather than going ahead and failing. I support Sen. (Dr.) Machage that you make a ruling and we go to the next order."
