    "content": " Sen. Wako, you are definitely not in Order! You need not to remind the Chair of its own ruling. That is what I was about to decree, but let me dispose of the request by Sen. (Dr.) Machage and also to remind Senators that there is no harm if a Senator seeks information. We agreed that from the very beginning, we are all learning. I suppose like in all schools, not all students learn at the same time and pace. So, if you look at the Constitution of Kenya, Article 123(2) regarding when the Senate is to vote on any matter other than a Bill, the Speaker shall rule on whether the matter affects, or does not affect counties. Article 123(3) states that when the Senate votes on a matter that does not affect counties, each Senator has one vote. Article 123(4) (c) states that the matter is carried only if it is supported by a majority of all the delegations. The majority of 47 is 24. Dr. Machage, I know you are a doctor. However, the level of your confidence in your profession is usually higher than the average. So, you need to get that threshold of 24 and above. Anything below 24 which is 23 and below, is lost. Even if there was no single vote on the Noes, the Noes will have it as Sen. Hassan would want to hear alongside others. Having said so, we will suspend this business to proceed with the main Motion tomorrow then we will take the Motion of Adjournment as earlier sought by Sen. Murkomen."
