    "content": "On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have put both of them but I just wanted to rise as a matter of concern that we need to get our technology to harmonize with our rules. That is because the technology is also creating confusion in the House and making the House very dull. If I want to compare with the Tenth Parliament, if you had issues of intervention which also made the House interesting but also made sure we had procedure in order, I could intervene. But now even when I see something is out of order, I do not want to intervene because I am going to be told that I will go back to the bottom. That is one concern. So, could we ask the people who deal with this technology to do it in such a manner that we can interact? Let us have one system that shows points of order without being relegated, especially if you have been here for long. But the main issue I wanted to raise is on seniority and ranking. I have raised it before and it is not of my creation. It is an issue of a parliamentary system. I know hon. Midiwo was very concerned and he continuously raised it. It is also not an issue of his creation. All parliamentary systems have seniority and that is why, when I see some hon. Members coming--- Even when I saw the Deputy Whip come in just after we had been here for two hours and he spoke, we did not complain. He does that all the time. We do not complain because it is an issue of ranking. But I will complain if I, hon. (Ms.) Odhiambo-Mabona, sits here and I am senior to other hon. Members and I am made to sit here. When we sat in this House, there were people like hon. (Ms.) Karua--- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
