    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for that clarification. But arising from what you have said and read from the list, I think that when the Clerk reads out the names in a multiple membership delegations, like Nairobi, once the name of the head of that delegation is read out and is found to be absent, the names of the other Members of the delegation are not read. This is because if they are read, then they can indicate whether or not there have been consultations and they have an instrument that allows them to vote, after being designated by the head of delegation. I think that it is a matter which we do not need to take a lot of time on. But I think that in Housekeeping and keeping precedence very clear, this is an important point to know in these early days; so that it is not enough for the Clerk to read the name of the head of delegation and if he is not there, then it is assumed that there is no presence of that delegation in the Chamber."
