    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, five minutes ni kidogo . I have heard what my colleagues particularly those on the other side have said but with all due respect, I want to disagree and support this Bill. I will give my reasons. First, many parts of the Bill including the one putting the requirements for degree for Members of Parliament and others I think is in order because we all know the role of Members of Parliament in oversight and legislation and that is why we have had serious problems in the last few years. Our oversight systems have collapsed particularly the National Assembly and that is why we are getting the kind of legislation that we always complain about. I think this is a very good thing and I support. On the adequate time that has been given for the nomination, I think it is in order. On the polling stations, limited to 700 voters at most is a very good development because we have had challenges in some of our areas; where to get an extra polling station is always a challenge. On the issue of the amendment to Section 19, in my view, there is nothing seriously wrong with this thing - politics aside. I come from Mandera County and I will give you examples of what happened to me in 2013.
