Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Clause 68 is part of Part VI in its entirety. It begins at Clause 67 VI. That is the reason I had suggested to amend the whole of part VI which sets up a National Physical Planning Liaison Committee. The whole of Part VI speaks to the committee, its functions and work. If you allow, there is no reason for me to go clause by clause. In view of the deletion of the National Physical Forum Committee at the beginning and its role, it will be a contradiction to leave this one because it falls in ...

Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, that is why I suggested that we should read Clause 67 to the end because in the Order Paper, it appears as Clause 6. So, it is going to be technical when we come to explaining if we go clause by clause.

I propose that Part VI which begins at Clause 67 to the end of Part VI speaks about the same thing. From the way we have put it in the Order Paper, if we go clause by clause, we will end up having a problem. The Order Paper reads: “That the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 6”. We are now reading Clauses 67, 68 and 69. That is the part that I do not understand. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the ...

It is important to agree that the reason I sent the amendments in advance was for us to synchronize but I believe wisdom comes at a time like this. I agree with Sen. Obure, being my senior, that it is better if we sort it out at the Committee level.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in view of the threshold for the constitutional amendment Bills, from what we have read under the Constitution, we require 45 Members to sit. That has never happened unless it happened when I was absent. I do not know whether the leadership of the House including the Senate Majority Leader and the whips will do something different so that a day is reserved for the division of the constitutional amendment Bills only. Otherwise, we will be accused of omissions and dereliction of duty because we have never had a quorum of 45 Members and we will ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, that is why a direction needs to be issued and maybe this ought to go to House Business Committee. One of the Bills here is a serious one. It deals with the Equalization Fund. During the debate last week, it came to the Floor of the Senate that, in fact, funds were disbursed in the manner suggested in this Bill, but the Bill has never been passed. This is something that is extremely serious and urgent. Therefore, something drastic needs to be done somewhere at the leadership level so that you can get the threshold of ...
