Order, Members! Sen. (Dr.) Ali, let us have some order!

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

That is not a designated seat, Sen. (Eng.) Maina. Sit on a designated seat.

(3) The Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No. 38 of 2018); (4) The Cancer Prevention and Control (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No.9 of 2019); (5) The National Assembly Amendments to the Petition to County Assemblies (Procedure) Bill (Senate Bills No.22 of 2018); (6) The National Assembly Amendments to the County Early Childhood Education Bill (Senate Bills No.26 of 2018); and, (7) The Third Basis for Revenue Allocation among the County Governments.

Where is he? He should be here!

He is not here? Let us move on to the next Order.

Order Members! Before you proceed, I will allow the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget to table the report which has been brought. Any Member of the Committee? Who is the Vice -Chairperson? Where is he? Is he in the Chamber? We will go to Order No. 8 as the Chair comes to---

I now order for the Division Bell to be rung for two minutes.

We need two Tellers because we are going to vote by Roll Call. Sen. Kang’ata and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr, will be the tellers.

Sen. Sakaja, what is your intervention? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I understand why you have sought for voting by Roll Call. However, I would like to indulge you, because for those of us who are here, we have our cards and looking at the number of Divisions we have, especially in the Committee of the Whole, that the names of the Members who are on the other side be noted, so that they can vote by Roll Call or they can tick their votes, but for the convenience of the House, those who are here be able to vote electronically.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have the mandate and you can make that decision, so that we can move on to the real business that Members want to discuss.

I think that is a good suggestion; those who are in the Chamber can vote by pressing and those who are in the “Extended Chamber” will note.

The Secretariat says, logistically, they are not ready for electronic voting because I have to feed in the question. So, we just have to do Roll Call voting.

What is it, Sen. Sakaja?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Secretariat should be a bit creative. Many at times, even when we vote electronically, there are some Members who do not have cards. In those instances, those Members without cards are called “assisted voters.”

Mr. Speaker, Sir, for purposes of convenience, I wish the Secretariat was listening, because they are the ones proposing, just like the situations - I am glad the Clerks at the table are listening - where some Members do not have cards, but the rest vote electronically, we can make the assumption that those Members on the other side do not have a card so that the ones in the Chamber vote as the “assisted voters.”

Sen. Kang’ata.

Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr.

Hon. Senators, the results of the Division are as follows: -

Hon. Members, the next Orders are going to be combined so that the voting is faster.

Let us go to the next Order.

(Sen. (Prof.) Kamar): Hon. Senators, let us settle down. We are about to begin the Roll Call voting again. Please take your seats; it is going to be very fast. We will move fast by voting on the Orders one by one. I ask those in the extended Chamber to move forward because we are going to move very fast.

Concerning The Pandemic Response and Management Bill (Senate Bills No.6 of 2020), we have four Divisions to take. Hon. Senators, I would like you to listen because we are going to vote on the four at the same time. When you come in, you will vote on all of them. If you have any reservations on one, you should mention. I would like to read the four.

On Clauses for deletion, we have Clauses 3, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 29 and 40. Please note that the following amendments were dropped or rather withdrawn. We have Clause 20 by Sen. Mugo and Sen. Farhiya who had proposed a change and Clause 29 by Sen. Kang’ata and Sen. Mugo.

(Sen. (Prof.) Kamar): Hon. Senators, we are now moving on to the Consideration of the National Assembly Amendments to the County Early Childhood Education Bill (Senate Bills No. 26 of 2018). Hon. Senators, the first question is, that the National Assembly amendments to clauses 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 20, 23, 24, 24, 25, 29, 30, 35 41, 43, 46, 47, 56, 63, 64, 66, 69, and the Second Schedule be approved. The Committee endorsed that. Hon. Senators, on the second question, that amendments to Clauses 27,28, 33, 36,37, 44 and 68 be approved. The Committee recommended a rejection. So, on question number one, the Committee accepted all the amendments except for the second set, where the Committee recommended ‘no.’ May I now put the first Question, which is that the National Assembly amendments to Clauses 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 20, 23, 24, 25, 29, 30, 35, 41, 43, 46, 47, 56, 63, 64, 66, 69 and the Second Schedule be approved.

I now put the second Question; that the National Assembly amendments to Clauses 27, 28, 33, 36, 37, 44 and 68 be approved. We will take a Roll Call vote and the questions are two; 1(a) and 1 (b).

Order, Senators! Please sit down. If you read the amendment, you will find that the Committee approved a set of amendments from the National Assembly. They approved the majority and only rejected the “B” part. Therefore, they recommended the first part and in the second part, they rejected six of the amendments.

(Sen. (Prof.) Kamar): What is your point of order, Sen. Wetangula?

For the record to be complete, the Senate Majority Leader did not read the whole script.

No, I think I mentioned it.

It is either with or without amendments. You did not say that.

(Sen. (Prof.) Kamar): We actually said “its approval thereof.”

It does not matter, Madam Temporary Chairperson. It is with or without amendments. That is the precedent that we have always had.

(Sen. (Prof.) Kamar): No, this one was either for rejection or adoption, because it was on the National Assembly amendments. All of them have been approved, so it is either approval or rejection. It was that brief. The Senate Majority Leader was right.
