    "content": "Hon. Speaker, you need to define for us the threshold. Will it be 50 per cent plus one of the 349 Members of this House or a simple majority of the quorum present? You can hear the promoter is shouting quorum. And are you going to provide mechanisms of how we will vote from the tents? The other critical issue I wanted to raise has been raised. It has been alluded to and we cannot be blind to media reports, rumours (if you want to call them so, as I have heard my colleagues do), innuendos, gossip, or whatever you want to call it. However, it has been mentioned that there were errors that may have been deliberate and they came from saboteurs of this process. If I had the ability, and I will be expressing my views when we come to debate, you know I will be a saboteur of this process because I truly do not believe in it! We cannot ignore those reports and talks that there have been errors in terms of what is in the Bill; that there have been different versions of the Bill going to different county assemblies as alluded to by the Member for Endebes. There is even an allusion in the Report: if you read Paragraph 360, it says that the Committee observed the copies of the Bill submitted by IEBC and introduced in the Houses had the inadvertent errors to clauses 13 and 48 and Paragraph 1 of the Second Schedule. The fact that that has been alluded to by a Report done by a Committee of this House, we cannot then belittle the matter to be rumors, innuendos, gossip and media reports. It is now a record of this House. How then do we address those issues? How do we correct those errors if they exist as has been alluded to in the Report? Hon. Speaker, we would want to know what Bill is before this House. Is it the one that went to County A, 10 or 20? Is it among the 11 or 13 counties that were said to have received the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
