    "content": "In all other jurisdictions, voting cannot be done online. We cannot even agree on simple things about SMS. You can imagine voting. Members make statements here and they immediately deny them, until we have to go and check in the Hansard . You are in the habit of saying and denying things. I am not saying that is what Hon. Nyamita does. Because we have that experience and difficulty as Kenyans, not only the Members of Parliament, we are in the process of exploring other ways to see how best we can deal with the issue. If a matter is one that the House thinks that everybody should express himself or herself, although it does not happen… Even when we require two-thirds of Members, we hardly ever get them. We give Members more than two weeks to go and prepare that on a particular day, they will be required to come here in their droves and we still do not get two-thirds. So, the only way to address that issue is by every Member desiring to participate to indicate. Currently, that is the only method we have. I want to discourage Members from making remarks that discourage the staff. The members of staff are asking me the other methods we can use to know that a Member intends to be in the House."
