    "content": " Hon. Senators, I have a Communication to make in relation to Sen.(Dr.) Khalwale’s Motion as regards to the vote on the amended Motion, which we agreed to communicate before we put the vote on the substantive Motion. This Communication was promised yesterday in response to a request by Sen. Wetangula, supported by a number of other hon. Senators seeking the guidance of the Chair on the appropriate procedure for disposing of a Motion affecting counties. The issue arose when a proposed amendment to a Motion by Sen.(Dr.) Khalwale was lost despite the result being 23 in favour, none against and none abstaining. The argument was advanced by Sen. Wetangula with support from Sen.(Dr.) Khalwale, Sen. Murkomen and others, that from the result, it appeared that the proposed amendment could not have been passed from the onset, and that the Chair should not have allowed the vote to proceed because the delegations present were not enough to pass the Motion. Sen. Wetangula argued that the Chair should have involved Standing Order No.68(1) of the Standing Orders of the National Assembly of the Tenth Parliament, which provided that:- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
