    "content": " The reason I stood on a point of order is because you are standing and, therefore, we are supposed to be reading the screen below you. I have a small point. You have given us guidance. Those who were in the last Parliament knew what you were saying because we were using these gadgets. If our voting here, if you will vote yes, no or abstain, how will the Chair determine who in which delegation is voting, especially for proxy voters? That is very important. As I said last week, there may be a point where proxy vote should be established and proved so that there is no contention. We may need to prove that one has been delegated as a proxy. So, we need clarity on that as well. Sitting and pressing “yes”, “no” or “abstention” without knowing who is voting for what delegation becomes very difficult. Secondly, we had a case here where two Senators purported to be proxy voters for one county. That highlighted some issues which were raised on the Floor. So, you should guide us on that as well.
