"content": "One, I must appreciate what Mr. Ochieng has done in terms of coming up with this Bill and pushing it through this Parliament to where it is today. That is no mean achievement. Unfortunately, what happened yesterday was a matter over which I would want to agree with what many Members have said, that many Members may have missed out because of certain reasons that were beyond their control. Today, there is an opportunity provided for by the Standing Orders. I would want to persuade you to find that what is before this House is completely within your jurisdiction. When you look at Standing Order No. 62(2), it talks of “Nays” or the “Ayes” being a majority, but the nays do not reach a third. My interpretation of this particular paragraph is that the framers of these Standing Orders anticipated a situation where these numbers will not be achieved."
