    "content": "Order, hon. Members! Just like I thought, because maybe institutional memory would have provided otherwise, we follow the law and also our past practices and traditions. Our past practices will be embraced in what may have transpired even in preceding Parliaments away from the Tenth Parliament. But otherwise, as the law provides, Parliament at the moment will be comprised of 210 elected Members of Parliament, 12 nominated Members and two ex-officio Members. The two ex-officio Members do not vote. The 222 as the Constitution provides will be expected to participate in a division. The Constitution is blind to vacancies. It just deals with figures; numbers. So, that is what we will bear in mind. In fact, it is for this reason that we have a lot of pressure from the people of Kangema, for example, that they are not currently represented and yet they are a county. We are addressing ourselves to that concern. So, that is how we will proceed, hon. Ruteere. We will take the numbers as laid down in the Constitution."
