    "content": "It looks like some Members are keener on logging in than settling down. Hon. Members, you can log in later. I am aware that some of you log in and disappear. Just make your way in, if you intend to show yourself as having been in the House. I will ignore the Member who appears to be very busy on his phone communicating with the villagers. Those of you making your way in, if you do not do so quickly, you are at the risk of having to stand there until I finish this Communication. Let me proceed. Hon. Members, the business to be transacted by the House during the Special Sittings is as specified in the Gazette Notice I have referred to and indeed as also notified to all Members and the public by way of newspaper notifications published by the Clerk of the National Assembly on 31st December 2021 and 3rd January 2022. Further, as notified in the said Gazette, if need arises, the Sittings during the said days, being special ones, may automatically extend until conclusion of the business specified in the Gazette without a Member having to move a Motion under Standing Order 30 (a). Hon. Members, you will also recall that following the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Chamber speaking and electronic voting system was reconfigured to accommodate 120 Members in line with the advisory from the Ministry of Health. The advisory notwithstanding, I have revised the Speaker’s Guideline No.2 of 2021 to allow all Members desiring to take part in any vote or any Division call to do so by way of electronic voting as contemplated under Standing Order No.70. In this regard, the Chamber speaking and electronic voting systems have been reconfigured to accommodate 325 Members and are ready for use."
