Members, allow me to make this Communication which is on inaccurate reports on Division with respect to the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020. Hon. Members, as you may recall, on Thursday, 6thMay 2021, the House upon a Question for Second Reading of the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020 promoted by the Building Bridges Initiative the Houses proceeded to a Roll-Call Vote. At the end of the Vote, I did declare the results as follows: Ayes: 235 Nays: 83 Abstention: 2 Total Members Voting: 320 Hon. Members, you may also recall that for the first time, and in furtherance of the provisions of Part XXVIIIA of StandingOrders (Conduct of Proceedings in Exceptional Circumstances), I permitted Members who could not attend the Sitting physically to vote virtually. As you all observed, it was evident that our staff faced some challenges with regard to recording of some votes that were cast virtually, especially where the voice of the Members present virtually was not clearly audible. This slight challenge was likely to affect the correctness of the results as declared then. In this regard, Hon. Members, pursuant to the provisions of StandingOrder No. 75 regarding correction of errors following a vote, I wish to report to the House that upon further verification of the actual video recording of Members who voted virtually, it was determined as follows: 1. The Member for Trans-Nzoia County, the Hon. Janet Nangabo who was initially counted as having voted “YES” did not actually participate in the virtual voting; 2. There were further errors in tallying the total votes for the “NAYS” which resulted in a variation of two votes. Hon. Members, the errors which affected the results declared with respect to the “Ayes” and “Nays” vote, have since been brought to my attention by the Clerk of the National Assembly. I hasten to affirm that, as your Speaker, it is my duty to ensure that the records of 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."
