23 Jun 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Members, you will make the decision. I will put it this way; this is a situation where the numbers have the say and not the voice. Many Members feel that I should have made a ruling one way or the other but it is the numbers that make the difference. I have checked on the numbers and established that we are not two-thirds of the membership of the House. In fact, to be clear, we are only 74. That means you cannot negate the President’s amendments. That is the position.

Order! Hon. Nyikal, let me be clearer. Out of the 74 hon. Members present in the House, I want you to look at it generally. You realise that one side of the House is more populated than the other. You impute that some Members have absented themselves deliberately so that we do not raise the mandatory two-thirds membership, but I can see that one side of the House is a little more packed than the other. Hon. Members, we are not making progress. Therefore, all points of order are overruled.
