    "content": "I am on the Floor. We are not in a primary school. Hon. Deputy Speaker has to give you the chance. So, we need to have 27 members. Fifty eight members applied for the Jubilee Party’s slots. We selected 15. Forty eight members applied for the four slots of CORD Coalition. We expected 12 members. The Chamber is the polling station and the Clerk is the Returning Officer. These members, who are the constituents and the voters, were supposed to select nine members from the 27 members. Once we select the nine members from the 27 members, then those nine members will represent the Republic of Kenya and, by extension, the Parliament of Kenya in the EALA. In those nine members, the House must look at the regional and gender balance. We have wasted three weeks because of lack of quorum. Now that my good friend, Hon. Mwadeghu, has withdrawn his amendment, let us spend less time and approve. I told the Speaker yesterday, if the Senate has approved the Report and the National Assembly amends it, the outcome could have been the collapse of the whole process. That is the reading. There could have been no mediation. There was no mediation anticipated where the two Houses differ on a Report of a Committee. It is different when it is a Bill."
