"content": "Hon. Members, let me make this point clear: The Hon. David Ochieng approached me yesterday before we went into the other business, by which time it was not possible for me to react to his request. Therefore, I advised him to make a formal application, which he did and I have gone through it this morning. Indeed, he is raising an issue which is not provided for. Even as you respond, please note that what he is saying is largely true. Standing Order No. 62 does not require Members to rise in their places to claim a Division within a Division. There is a clear distinction between what is in Standing Order Nos. 62 and 72. However, since this is the House that makes rules, I would want to give a few Members an opportunity to ventilate on this matter, so that even as we rule we do it for posterity. If need be, we can make clear provisions. That option is open to you. I would want to hear a few interventions on this matter. The Leader of the Majority Party."
