    "content": "Hon. Members, once again, I want to reiterate what I said earlier. When Members look at the names they claim there is somebody from their village and they, therefore, support them with all their hearts and bodies. After contributing, the Members walk away. Hon. Kisang, you are back but the others who were trying to walk away with you actually went away. But you come and say: “I am very happy that I have seen I do not know who; I do not know what. So, you need them to be approved by whom?” You know it is only that… Sometimes, Members, you know many of you, when a weekend comes, go and start saying that a law has been passed but, surely, we know many of you were not even there. You say that we passed this law, but how? Where? You might contribute and say: “This is very good. I like this list”, then the next thing you hear is that the list was not approved and you are going to, maybe, call them and tell them: “You know in fact I supported you”. They will call you and tell you: “You did not stay there to approve me. Those who were left there, who know their work, actually did not approve. They rejected it. They rejected me.” How will you feel and you contributed here very well and walked out? You see, approval is by voting. Now, if you were not among those who were present to vote, there is no use that you contributed to this or the other. Therefore, because we do not have the requisite quorum, I will not put the Question on the approval of these names. You see the requirement of putting the Question is after ascertaining the number for quorum. I have a system of ascertaining. The system is here. Therefore, the system tells me that we are below 50 and so, we cannot approve. So, move to the next Order."
