    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not mean to interrupt the hon. Senator. However, there is something that I should have raised immediately after the Notices of Motion. You need to communicate from your Chair because many people confuse two things in this House. One, the Standing Orders allow the Whip of a political party to pick any other Senator to vote in a committee election on behalf of any other Senator that they choose. However, that is not to be confused with a vote by delegation; meaning that in a delegation of Nairobi City County that is comprised by about seven people, the elected Senator can delegate any other person to vote on their behalf on Motions and Bills in this House. The problem is that because Members only went through the elections of committees and another person was designated, there is a confusion that you can designate anybody in this House to vote on your behalf. Mr. Speaker, Sir, that communication must be made for the purpose of clarity, particularly to the new Senators."
