• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: We are scheduled for a division on this Motion. Hon. Senators, according to Standing Order No.74, any Division shall be by electronic voting. I, therefore, order the Division Bell to be rung. Since we have just adjourned for the purposes of voting, I will order that the Division Bell be rung for one minute. view
• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, if you are representing a delegation, let us know. That matter was raised last week and we agreed that we are addressing it administratively. The purpose of the Bell is to make some notification and I think it serves that purpose even better. Hon. Senators, we will take two votes; Order No.9 first and then we will separately do Order No.10. We will vote in one minute. view
• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Order Senators! We will have to do a second round. Apparently some people are abstaining without wanting to indicate so. That is not allowed. You either vote “yes”, “no” or you abstain. There are many ways of knowing, but I want to give you a second chance. If you have forgotten your card, then you need to notify the Clerks-at-theTable and register. We will give you an oral vote after the other voting has taken place.

• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Then you know what to do. view
• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Order, Senators! I think we have said that the system is working quite well. It may have challenges which have not denied us the ability to vote. Whatever recommendations that are being solicited will, definitely, be taken into account as part of the improvement. However, for now, it is serving us well. The only thing that we are concerned about is the malfunctioning of the gadget, as pointed out it the case of the Senator for Wajir. If you are present and voting and you did not vote, then it is considered disorderly. The fact that the Senate Minority Leader ... view
• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: I think that, that might be the problem. Order, Senators! We will now go to the vote on Order No.10, which is The County Governments (Amendment) (No.2) Bill (Senate Bills No.2 of 2014). view
• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Senators, this is not Sen. Sang’s Bill. This is Sen. Wangari’s Bill. Therefore, I wish to put the Question. We will assume the Division Bell was for everything. It is now time for voting. Is each and every Senator voting logged in? This is a matter affecting counties so we will take one minute to vote. Hon. Senators, I am told that it is being fed into the system first before we do the voting. So, bear with us. view
• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: I hear murmurs that they do not know what the Bill is all about. You actually debated it. I want to invite Sen. Wangari for a minute to explain to the House, to refresh the memory of distinguished Senators on what the Bill is all about. view
