    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think we had deferred this Motion to this afternoon because maybe we thought that the quorum would be better and, indeed, is better. So, it is only fair we deal with this Motion. We should go ahead and attempt, as a House, to the best of our ability and not withdraw the Motion when we have invested so much in it. We have been whipping hon. Members since morning and I think it is worthwhile to give it a shot and see how many the Government side can raise. In fact, I only see 25 hon. Members from the Government or Ministers and Assistant Ministers. I do not know where the rest are. I have counted all of them. I have been doing the counting since we came to this House. The Back Bench has been able to raise close to 70 hon. Members of Parliament. I do not know where the rest are. They are not at the burial of hon. Michuki. They are not anywhere. So, as we go on debating the Motion, could you instruct, or maybe advise, the Leader of Government Business, the Deputy Leader of Government Business and the third leader to go out and whip their Members? As we continue debating the Motion, hon. Members of the Front Bench should come and jam this House, the way they do when they have specific and most important business in this House."
