"content": "Let me start by saying that this is the first NADCO Bill to get to the Second Reading stage. As you will recall, NADCO produced a total of nine Bills. So, from the very outset, we should support and pass this Bill like yesterday. Hon. Members, as you are seated here, you are forgetting Banissa Constituency in Mandera County has gone without a Member of Parliament for now more than a year because there is no functioning IEBC in place. Hon. Members, this is such a serious matter that we cannot afford to be oblivious to. Therefore, the passage of this Bill must be hastened if only to address the constitutional requirement of equal representation in this country."

Temporary Speaker, you are a lawyer. What would happen?"
