    "content": "Order! For the sake of clarity, we are voting on the question that I have already put; THAT, the Senate approves the Report of the Mediation Committee on the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bill No.15 of 2015), laid on the Table of the Senate on Tuesday, 22nd July, 2014. We are all now used to the Electronic Voting. So, we will proceed under Standing Order No.74 (2). I want to bring it to the attention of Members that this will come out as a print out. Standing Order No.74 (3) is mandatory. During Electronic Voting, hon. Senators shall cast their votes by pressing either the “yes,” “no” or “abstain” button. There is a print out which will later show who voted “yes,” “no” or abstained. Hon. Senators, remember this is voting by Division where every Member will be shown how they voted if they were in the House. The otherwise is that you can be declared by the Speaker as disorderly and the sanctions are all here. The sanctions are here and are clear. So, this is not a question of choice and whether you are going to vote or not. The rules are clear. Standing Order No.74 (3) says that you should either vote “yes,” “no” or “abstain.” This is a Division Vote. I am bringing this to your attention because I will get a print out that will show how everybody in this House voted. I think we can now proceed to vote. The Clerks-at-the-Table will let us know when they are ready for us to vote."
