    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Standing Orders are not cast on stone. Unfortunately, for us, there is something called precedence which is where you disagree or form a new precedence on a matter that has never been decided before. The Chairperson of the Committee of the Whole made a mistake. In fact, I would like the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) to give us a video clip for us to demonstrate that the Chair made a mistake. In a case where you do not have a provision, the Chair can withdraw the vote. I urge you to look at the Standing Order No1.(2). It says:- “The decisions made in paragraph (1) shall be based on the Constitution of Kenya, statute law and the usages, forms, precedents, customs, procedures and traditions of the Parliament of Kenya and other jurisdictions to the extent that these are applicable to Kenya.” Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, where the noisy vote by this side was more than that side, we do not need to look for any other provision. Sen. (Dr.) Machage, the Chair of the Committee of the Whole must stand by his withdrawal of the vote because it was fraudulent in any respect."
