    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you have known me not to violate Standing Order No.109. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I rise to second this Motion. I have about four points to make. First, Sen. Murkomen mentioned one of the terms that gave us tremendous problems in the Rules. The East African Treaty talks about accommodating all shades of opinion that gave us a lot of grey area. Therefore, in accommodating independent candidates, it was an attempt to have those shades of opinions represented by independent candidates accommodated in the Rules. However, those shades of opinion from independent candidates are subject to the formula which is x/416×9. If you get above 0.5, you get an individual. Therefore, independent candidates in Parliament do not cross the threshold of a person in that formula. That is how you arrive at it. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
