    "content": "Order Senators! I am responding to your issues. I am reiterating the directive I gave yesterday to the political leadership; the whips and to the general membership; that your business, first and foremost, is legislation and to be in this House. Even for that Committee that we formed today, they could have had lunch together and conducted elections. That was the understanding I had. So, for them to have postponed from lunch time to the afternoon is not acceptable. Deputy Majority Leader, this is another opportunity for you to exercise leadership and mobilize your troops. Surmount whatever energy and stamina you have to make sure that we have all the numbers tomorrow. As far as I am concerned, that is only an appeal. I am not going to stop the business of this House on the basis of numbers. The numbers will impact the business, either way, and it is up to Members to know what that kind of impact means to them. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has raised one fundamental impact that Members can have. That is all we can do. The next three orders involve division. Please ring the division bell for three minutes."
