    "content": "So, let us make use of the serious provisions given to us by the Constitution. Let us do so in a serious way. We should not run away from the Chamber and discuss these issues in funerals and parliamentary group meetings, with people who are not even Members of this House, and who have no voting rights and give directions. We wish them well; they can join us in prayer rallies, so that we pray for them; that may solve their problems. On the Statement, yesterday you made a communication and people did not hear you well. I want, on behalf of the HBC, to remind my colleagues that tomorrow afternoon is a very important day for voting for two key constitutional amendment Bills. These are the Bill sponsored by Hon. Lati Lelit MP, regarding the Equalisation Fund and the Bill by Hon. Ochieng, MP, regarding change of the election date. Tomorrow the voting attempt should be the last and the final following the Speaker’s ruling. Should Hon. George Peter Kaluma MP, also be ready we may consider the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill No. 2, 2015 in the Committee of the whole House, if the numbers required are attained. The passage of these Bills require two-thirds majority of all Members. I, therefore, remind Hon. Members to avail themselves. At the same time the sponsors of the Bill and the whips should use their available means to lobby all our colleagues to attend the sitting tomorrow, so that the required two-thirds majority is attained for those Bills to sail through to the next stage."
