    "content": ".: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move that the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 28. Anybody who has the elections Act, if you turn to the Third Schedule and look at what we are proposing to insert; it is already in the law. So, once again, we have something called an editing error in a Bill we are going to pass. There is even a risk that the President is going to sign a memorandum because we are going to put him in such an awkward position to sign something that is already in the Act. Therefore, I proposed it in the Committee and I now propose again to your good sense that you allow that we delete this section; not because there is anything contentious about it or because there is an issue, but just because we are performing a legislative duty and that legislative duty includes not making the most ridiculous errors like this one. If we are going to be a House of review, we cannot allow the National Assembly to make such an obvious petty error and we repeat it. Today, I stand to clean my image as the Senator of Makueni County by not participating in something that will come to haunt me when I am much older."
