"content": "\"On the assembly of a new House - as, indeed, we are a new House - pursuant to the President's Proclamation, the list of names of Members of the House shall be laid on the Table by the Clerk and the House shall thereafter proceed to the election of a Speaker. Immediately following the election, the Clerk shall administer the oath---\" So, that provision deals with the first issue, pertaining to the order of swearing in. Standing Order No.3 is categorical that the swearing-in shall be pursuant to the list of the names of Members of the House as laid on the Table by the Clerk. It is clear; it speaks for itself. The Clerk laid a list on the Table. It does not have to be in an alphabetical order. The Standing Order does not say so. We raised no objection to that list. We followed the list and, indeed, allowed the Member for Othaya to vote first, and the Member for Langata to vote second."
