    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. I join my colleagues in applauding you for a wise ruling. This is the new norm. We cannot run away from it. We have had two good sessions in the Committee on Education, one of which I undertook from my farm. We had a successful meeting and managed to have the highest quorum we have ever had since the start of this term. So, it brings a lot of success. This pandemic has brought its positives, which we must address. As a House, our decision range from questions which are raised to Motions and Bills. Our decisions are either ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ There is no way we can do without voting. Everything has to do with voting. So, the decision to ensure that we vote while at home through our leaders is wise. This is the way we need to go. I agree with Sen. Orengo that we may need to change our Standing Orders. E-learning is the way to go. When universities started e-learning, many people doubted the content and competency of the people receiving the content and whether they were the ones being examined or the people helping them. We know that today, it is possible to examine a person after they have undergone e-learning. So, ICT, assisted decision-making and policy making are things of today. It is the new norm."
