    "content": "We are making these laws for posterity. We are making these laws in this country for those many generations which will come. We would have wished to have a country with only two or three parties like we have in other countries, but we do not have that country. We have a country composed of shenanigans, and people who want to make money out of parties. We have a country where people want to make mincemeat out of parties. I wanted to support this Bill because of the changes in IEBC, and some few changes. However, when somebody puts the section on party-hopping in the Bill and then he comes to preach to us here, you wonder whether you will support it. I am a Kenyan and I have no problem with joining whichever party. When I look at so many people here, they just look down. These are the people who I speak for. These are the people who when somebody up there speaks, they hide under the tables. These are the people I want to help. Most of them are Members of this House and Members of County Assemblies (MCAs). They cannot talk, I have to talk on their behalf. I pity my friends. Let us use our heads and constitutional mandate as Members of this House to make laws that will help this country and not one person in some place. The President of this country, his Deputy and Mheshimiwa Raila will get direct nominations. You are ones who will hustle and find yourselves voting only to realise that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
