    "content": " Hon. Senators, before I put the question, indeed, I need to determine whether this matter affects counties or not because then, the way of voting will be determined. I am aware that when we were dealing with Gov. Kawira Mwangaza’s matter, I did make a ruling that the formation and approval of the Special Committee that retired to look into that matter was indeed a matter that affected counties. I then proceeded to direct that the House to vote by way of delegations. Having listened to the Senate Majority Leader and the material that he has placed before us, indeed, if you look at the Motion before you, it is a procedural Motion, just like any other Motion to form committees. Therefore, we cannot treat this Committee in any different way. We have formed committees before and the way we have always treated the approval is through voting by voice. This Select Committee is a Committee for all intents and purposes. It may have other different objectives, but at the end of the day, it is a Committee just like the other committees, which we have been approving here. Indeed, I will review that ruling and determine that this particular procedural Motion does not affect counties and, therefore, voting shall be by way of voice. Thank you."
