    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is good information. We had a demonstration of a machine, which is not connected to any network. Brazil has 107 million voters registered biometrically and their election results are submitted within two hours. This is a country we should be aspiring to, not a country where we are prepared for election disputes and threatening people that if you do not win, then you will not have a country. That is the sought of country I am looking forward to where the sovereign is the sovereign. If the sovereign elect person ‘X’, then we should have peace and confidence that our institutions can deliver those sort of things. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in reference to the Address by the President, we would say that in building bridges between ourselves and the National Assembly, in terms of the international obligations to the National Assembly. The Senate should have a say and a bite on the question of international obligations of the State. When we are asking Speaker Lusaka and Speaker Muturi to have a handshake, we should have a handshake where when the President addresses the nation, we can say something about it. The current Constitution does not say anything about the Senate. We are only supposed to appreciate the Address. It is not enough."
