I thought I could help them through eye contact. On the issue of numbers; why are they running ahead of themselves? In this House, we have the principle of anticipation of debate. They can wait until such a time when you have to make a ruling on such a point of order which can only happen when the Senator of Elgeyo Marakwet ceases being a Senator. He is still the Senator today. They will be free to seek your guidance the moment Sen. Soipan ceases being a Senator. On the principle of anticipation of debate, I request that you rule him out of order and we proceed. However, invite him at the right time to bring the matter forward. Knowing your background, I am sure that you will rule on the issue at that time."}
