Kisasa is purporting to vote for Sen. Madzayo, I saw her come to show you a text message. The Standing Orders and the Constitution do not anticipate or allow for a nomination of a Member of a Delegation to vote via a text message. It has to be in writing. Therefore, if there has been a vote on that basis, then it is invalid. Our position is that it has to be deleted so that we proceed with other matters. This may look like a simple matter now because we are not contesting it. However, when we will be dealing with a contested matter, it will be a different matter all together."}
