    "content": " Order, hon. Senators. I have a Communication to make with regard to the Motion on the Presidential Address, this being the third and final day. Before we conclude the Motion, I wish to draw your attention to the provisions of Standing Order No.69(1), which states as follows:- “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. (2) The Speaker’s ruling under paragraph (1) shall be made after conclusion of debate on the matter but before the question is put. (3) When the Senate votes on a matter that does not affect counties, each Senator has one vote.” Hon. Senators, I, therefore, rule that the subject matter of the Motion being proposed is one of general interest and application. It is, therefore, not affecting counties within the meaning of Article 123 of the Constitution. It, therefore, follows that to the question on this Motion, each Senator is entitled to one vote. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
