    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also agree that the idea of having nominated Members is not a solution because it encourages those to benefit by that nomination not to stand for elections. That is not what we should do by way of legislation. Therefore, I do support the idea that we do nominations after an election and only the people to be nominated must be limited to those who participated in the elections. If we have an election in 2017, all the ladies who participated in the election are known and the votes they got, how they fared against whoever won; all these facts are known. We must formulate a criteria on how the top 30 or whatever it is of those who ran can become nominated because they have demonstrated that they do not want something on a platter but they are prepared to go to the field and fight for it. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply and thank those who have contributed ably to this Motion. Before I sit, I do not think we have the necessary quorum to do the voting because I believe it is a Motion that contains a Bill which may be counted as one that touches on counties. In any case, that is how it went and also came back to us. Therefore, I want to move that the putting of the question be deferred to another suitable day, pursuant to Standing Order No. 54 (3)."
