"content": " Order, hon. Members. I am afraid that I normally say that I am subject to the will of the House. However, on this one, I will decline. I decline in the sense that there is no better opportunity to start experimenting this process rather than now. So, we cannot just say that we will not continue because we are used to an old system. We are already here. Yesterday, Sen. Kagwe, the Chairperson of the Committee on Information and Technology said that we should not just enjoy the seats. The new technology should also be reflected in having a paperless House including having Ipads. I took those sentiments very seriously. So, by the time we call for the voting, we would have had the bell ringing for eight minutes. In those eight minutes, we will know who are responsible for the proxy votes per delegation. The system is such that for now, it is only leaders of delegations who can vote with the cards we have. The proxy ones, once we have confirmed them, we will activate their cards so that they can vote."
