    "content": "Hon. Members the next Order is the Motion by hon. David Kangogo Bowen. The debate on this Motion was concluded but there was no vote on it because as you know in your Constitution Article 121 and your Standing Orders you have put a quorum for transacting business at 50 hon. Members. I would like to inform hon. Members that a quorum of 50 is mainly for purposes of transacting business. Since this is a House of records you can always access what has been said by your colleagues from the HANSARD. So, quorum becomes important for purposes of either passing a Bill or Motion or any policy paper that could be on the Floor. However, that is not to say that hon. Members are gagged from raising issues of quorum. I am not gagging anybody, but it is just for the orderly conduct of business and so that the House can transact business. Debates can happen even when you are only three of you, that is, the Speaker, the Clerk and the person contributing. This is because Parliaments the world over are Houses of record. That is the reason."
