    "content": " Order, Senators! I think the matter raised by Sen. (Dr.) Machage and Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale does not require any challenge. It is obvious how many numbers sit where. In fact, they even identified that there were three Senators to my right although they have become four now. It is obvious that the numbers to my left are much more compared to what is on my right. I think the challenge has been thrown to your side and instead of trying to defend the indefensible, we should be busy whipping more Members to come. Definitely, the Chair is not taking it lightly that there is a tendency creeping in where Members do not seem to take the business of the House seriously. The Chair would not support that whether you are from CORD or JUBILEE. For now, it is serious because some of the business already listed here, we are not seeing the people who are supposed to be prosecuting it. Secondly, you will recall that we now have a lot of business especially Bills still pending. We took a decision that we shall limit Wednesday afternoon for Motions. So, if you are not available for your Motion on Wednesday, you can be sure it will take another seven days for that matter to come to the House. So, it is important for the Members who are moving Motions to be present. That is why we give sufficient time for the Order Paper and that is why we make it abundantly clear what time the sittings start. So, I want to plead with Sen. Kerrow and Sen. Kivuti that if there is any contribution worthwhile making to this House, it is to talk to your colleagues to be present and not to defend them. The business of the House takes precedence by law. You know that one."
