"content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. At his particular moment, we are in division. If you look at our own Standing Order No.36, it is quorum during voting or division. That one is specific. It says that if from the number of Senators taking part in electronic or roll call division, it appears that the Senators do not themselves constitute a quorum, then the vote or division shall be invalid. This means that it is up to us, if it appears to us, that there is no quorum. Then the question is; what is the quorum? The quorum of the Senate or a Committee of the Whole shall be 15 Senators. So, as long as 15 Senators or delegations are present in this House, the quorum is achieved. In fact, the application before us is very mischievous. In fact, those who want to get this Motion passed are not 24 but they say that since they cannot get 24, the House must adjourn. That is shauri yako. If you cannot raise 24, then the matter dies."
