Sen Haji Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I pursue my point of order, could you restrain the distinguished Senator for Kericho from heckling? (Laughter)

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No. 54 (3) . After the Division Bell has been rung, we do not have the requisite numbers. I request that we defer the putting of the Question for Order No. 8 and Order No.9 to a day of your direction.
