    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I did not intend to interrupt the business of the House, but I wanted to point out to you, as one of the leadership of this House, that at one point when we were in a workshop in Mombasa, we had proposed that Quorum Bell should be fixed in all the buildings where Members sit. I am sure we have Members in Continental House who do not know that we have a problem with quorum. Through the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) and as a matter of urgency given that Members are now all over, we have quite a number of other facilities where Members sit. We request that the Quorum Bell be fixed in Continental House, Harambee House and all other buildings where Members sit, so that they can know the problems we have in terms of quorum. That is why we have been having a problem of quorum every time especially when we have Special Sittings like this Thursday morning to get Members who could come. Members are there trying to look at the business of the House, so that they come in when they are required. I just wish this is notified to the PSC, so that we do not get hitches every time we have such sittings."
