    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is safer to stick to the argument that Wednesdays should be set aside for voting. Therefore, we should mobilize Senators to be here as from 2.30 p.m. to vote. As Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale said, the Whips on both sides should lead a little bit harder because at some point we were just down by one person. Maybe if we had rung the bell, we would have returned one or two Members to be here to vote. It is a challenge that we have to deal with because we are not like the “lower House” which has more Members. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and Kenyans must know that this is the only House that since Independence that requires a proper majority to vote; 24 Members which is half of the House. It is clear that this is a unique challenge that the Senate faces that is not in many Houses across Africa."
