    "content": "are allowed to walk out. I am reacting to some of the concerns that were raised by Members, that when we walked out, we violated the Standing Orders of this House. That is not the case. In fact, one way of voting against the requirement of the threshold is to walk out so that you can fast-track the voting. I remember in the 10th Parliament about eight of us - we were with Hon. Charles Kilonzo who is back in Parliament, Hon. Ethuro, the former Speaker of the Senate, Hon. Martha Karua and Hon. Duale - kept walking out when it came to voting. We would participate in the debate because we wanted to be seen to be talking and doing so passionately about an amendment, but when it came to voting, we kept walking out until the current Deputy President, then a Member of Parliament, asked that we be given chairs outside. So, walking out is part of the voting process."
