    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Sir. Although my good friend and brother, Sen. Haji, says that we should not keep reminding ourselves about the past, I think it is very important that we go by history. The point of contention, as my colleagues have said, is the use of a complementary mechanism which is not defined. We all live in this country and know what happened in the last elections. Equipment worth billions of shillings was bought and made not to work. They were made to fail because by 9.00 a.m., the equipment could not work and the excuse was that the batteries were not charged. How could equipment be bought and presented to a polling station when the batteries were not charged? The complementary mechanism has to be defined. If we do not do that, we are courting disaster. There are two equipments that are used in this process. One is the Electronic Voter Identification Device (EVID) which never fails because it is charged and takes eight hours before it goes off. Since we are told that there is electricity in every primary school, those batteries can be charged in every polling station. 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"
