    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Voter registration is a very weighty matter because it is ongoing in other counties and constituencies, but not in Kiambaa. I do not think the Member for Murang’a is in order because she is at the centre of this issue. The Cabinet and the person they purport to support together with the Jubilee Party and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) took me to court with regard to the by-election that happened on 15th July. She is out of order since she purports not to know the law she is supposed to support. The Member she was supporting has taken me to court because of the by-election. Therefore, the IEBC cannot conduct voter registration in Kiambaa Constituency. The issue is that young people aged between 18-24 years in Kiambaa Constituency cannot be registered as voters. Hon. Speaker, you can remember the first time you voted and these are the same people you will ask for votes as a presidential candidate in this republic. Therefore, the issue of voter registration in Kiambaa Constituency is weighty. I want to ask the Member for Murang’a not to play politics together with the person she purports to support. If she wants registration to go on, she should just ask the special person she supports to withdraw the petition and voter registration will start tomorrow. The issues of elections and voter registration are weighty and cannot be discussed under the blanket. Hon. Speaker, she is out of order."
