    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you are not giving me sufficient time to prosecute the point. The manner in which we vote is provided by the Constitution so that the public out there, when the name of the Senator is called, and it is not just the name of the Senator that is called, but the name of the county which is also being called. When there is no response, then the public assumes the Senator is not there, or there is no representation. Normally, what the Clerk does is that he reads out the name of the Senator and the county. As far as we are concerned, the problem is compounded by the fact that, not only is the name of the Senator not being called out, but the name of the county is also not being called yet there may be somebody in the room who is part of the delegation from Bungoma who would want to vote. So, I am not saying that you make the point now, but it should be noted that it happened three times. That could not have been an oversight. I plead with you, because I think our system of voting is a little bit different from the National Assembly. It is important that every county knows the status not only in respect to the county, but in respect of the fact that their vote was not called as a county. Probably, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you can pronounce yourself on that later."
