Hon. Members considering the time provision or this Motion, it is time for us to vote for the amendment and to allow the Mover of the original Motion to move the amended Motion. Considering that the amendment we introduced affects counties, I have received a request that we defer both the voting for the amendment and the ultimate Motion to the next day as provided for under Standing Order No.51 (3) to the next day.

(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): The Acting Leader of the few. I know that, partly, I am the source of the SMSs that he is referring to. But I normally send them to the side of the coalition that belongs to the ruling party; I do not send them to the Opposition. It is not mandatory and, in fact, it was on the request by the legislators – the Senators and the Members of the National Assembly from the Jubilee Side – that they need to know. But for me, the more concrete thing---

No, no, no; because for us, the more concrete thing is for us to say that it is not important for the entire Committee to attend, but they can send a representative.
