(Dr.) Khalwale","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":170,"legal_name":"Bonny Khalwale","slug":"bonny-khalwale"},"content":"I will not even try. A moment of comedy could be allowed during debate but when we are taking the vote, it is a very important thing, and in fact, it should be a solemn moment. It might very well become the practice that we vote casually like this until a serious matter of contention affecting the counties and of grave national importance is on the table and people will behave in the same manner. I beg that you rule firmly that if somebody is being delegated to vote, then that evidence should be deposited with you on the Table. The Deputy Speaker had made a ruling on the same. If we do not do that the Senate will start looking like a very casual place and I am sure you do not want that."}
