    "content": " Hon. Senators, I could see the Senator for Meru, following the earlier points of order between Sen. Khalwale and Sen. Kipchumba, with more than passing interest. So, when he rose, I could easily tell where he was going. Hon. Senators, first, I want to agree with him that the proper procedure is the one spelt out in Standing Order No.74 (5), as he has correctly read. But as to whether it amounts to gross misconduct or should lead to invalidation of the vote, I disagree with him. You can also add those other words of “so-and-so on behalf the county,” because there is no harm in demonstrating and making it very plain that you represent a particular county. That is why you are here in the first place and voting is by county. I do not think that the House should be in the business of denying Kenyans the beauty of the English Language or any other language. Indeed, the same Standing Order says that you may even use appropriate sign language. I, therefore, encourage all of us to use “I vote Yes or I vote No.” But those who just said “Yes” and “No”, for all intents and purposes, have already demonstrated their intention to vote either way. Thank you."
