    "content": "Hon. Members, I have two important matters that I would like to communicate to you at this stage. You will notice that there is live coverage of the proceedings of the House this afternoon. I have exercised the powers bestowed upon the Chair by Standing Order No.1. You are, no doubt, aware that the Standing Orders are being amended to provide for the live coverage of the proceedings of this House. Indeed, a Sub-Committee of the previous Standing Orders Committee had concluded this matter. It now awaits consideration and approval of this House. I have, subsequently, allowed live coverage of the proceedings due to the very special nature of the business before the House this afternoon. As you are all aware, Kenyans throughout the country are eager to follow the proceedings and to know the fate of the two Bills before the House. I would like to inform you that there was a precedent on 4th November, 2004, when a camera crew was sent in by the Nobel Foundation from Norway. We allowed them to capture on film Prof. Maathai at work, prior to the presentation of the Nobel Peace Prize. However, I would like to advise the camera crew that they should only focus on the hon. Members speaking or the Chair while covering the proceedings. However, during the voting, camera crews will be permitted to focus on hon. Members as they proceed to the voting lobbies both on my right and on my left. May I draw the attention of the camera crews that these instructions must be followed to the letter. Thank you."
