    "content": "technical problem. Technology is technology, and it tends to always backfire when you do not want it to backfire. Sen. (Prof.) Kamar will remember when we had a meeting recently in the Committee and Members were just waiting to submit their input. Some Members had an unfortunate incident of them being completely switched off until much later. I think the technology and the technical problems will need very innovative ways. For example, I see many Senators calling in and being put on loud speaker, so that they can speak. Therefore, all these have to be quite well navigated across our Standing Orders, so that they run like we would practically run within the Senate. The issue of quorum should also be addressed. The issue of voting on time and a specific time being given for the voting should be done. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the names of Senators and how they have voted should be spelt out very quickly and easily. The issue of Roll Call or Electronic voting should be well-handled within the system. The system must verify the votes either electronically or manually. The integrity and confidentiality of the vote must be maintained. The technology is simple, accurate, verifiable, secure and transparent. Therefore, voting can take place without a problem. Clause 25 (1) (g) deals with access, public participation and witnesses. Clause 25 (1) (h) deals with receipts and transmission of documentation virtually through the sharing that is done within those particular setups. There is facilitating access for electronic documents to everybody."
