"content": "Order, Members, you know you do not force people to talk. Sen. Cheruiyot, you have no responsibility over another Member here. It is strange that you are sitting where you usually do not sit but there is nothing wrong with that unusual occurrence. Be that as it may, Members, let us read this thing in a more sober manner without being collared by other considerations. So far, we have done very well. Article 123 of the Constitution is about Decisions of the Senate. Article 123(1) states that:- “On election, all the members of the Senate who were registered as voters in a particular county shall collectively constitute a single delegation for purposes of clause (4) and the member elected under Article 98 (1) (a) shall be the head of the delegation.” The way we constitute our delegations is on the day you came to the Senate after the elections. If you changed your registration status by virtue of a new IEBC inviting you to move around and decide where you want to register, we will not stop you. You can move and register in another county but for purposes of voting in the Senate, that will be after the next election. For the current one, we will go by where you voted or were registered as a voter in the last general elections. That is on elections. There is also something about “shall be the head of the delegation.” Article 98(1)(a) talks about the elected Senator being the head of the delegation.
