    "content": " Hon. Senators, this vote is on a constitutional amendment like I said in my communication, the voting will not be just by delegations but by all Senators. We appreciate that. All Senators are 67 and if we divide by two-thirds, it comes to around 45 Members. So, I hope you listened to the point made by Sen. Orengo. We can ring the bell if you wish. I think what Senators need to be reminded is this; a vote does not have to be positive. It can also be lost. If we ring the bell and we draw the bars, we have to vote. It does not matter whether we are 45 or less; we could still lose the vote. So, it is a question of pragmatism. This is the second time this is happening and it is up to you to make a decision. I have no problem ordering that the Division Bell be rung for eight minutes as provided for and the consequences will follow. So, the points of order you are going to make; if they are related to this, let us reduce them. There are quite a number of you that want to say something. We will start with Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr."
