    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support Hon. Duale and Hon. Ochieng in requesting you to invoke Standing Order No. 62(2). I also want you to give guidance to this House as regards the voting rights of Members. This is because under Standing Order No. 70(3), it says that Members shall cast their vote by pressing “yes,” “no” or “abstain” buttons during electronic voting. Under Standing Order No. 70(5), it also says that any Member who is for some reason unable to vote, can be allowed to record their decision in favour of or against the Question verbally, through your direction. From the look of the vote that we have just cast, there are Members who did not vote. What does it mean when some Members do not say “yes,” “no” or abstain? Your direction is important."
