    "content": " I want to urge you, Mr. Chairman, Sir, to keep in mind the principle that; “time for man and not man for time”. We have already visited this country on a matter that is not good. I was responding to the point of order by the Senator for Nyeri County, who obviously did not hear what I said. If he did, he did not understand. If he understood, he ignored what I said. We must put this on record. This is a House of record. Those of us who want to vote quickly and go home are in the wrong place. You have one vote and the rest of us have votes. We have passed this matter at Second Reading. When they do not pass these clauses, they will not kill the Bill. We will send it to mediation so that this matter can be re-looked at. People can be wiser tomorrow than they were today and give this country a difference. That is what we are saying. It is okay; you have cast your vote on the first matter, but be open minded and ask yourself why are we overthrowing a section that everybody, including Kriegler said that it is the way to go in order to have a peaceful election? There is nobody in this country who would want to see conflict. There is nobody in this country who would want to see people running on the streets. There is nobody in this country who would want to see policemen at every corner. That is not the country we would want. We want a country where when you go for elections, you believe in the integrity of the process, the equipment in place, those manning the equipment and, consequently, the integrity of the results. Hence my full support for the proposal by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and the team that prepared the minority report that we delete this Clause and go back to the status quo ante, where we were to allow IEBC to use equipment for the process. My last point, just for purposes of emphasis; have we asked ourselves that if you go to register as a voter, there is no qualification. Registration of a voter is left to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
