    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, as I express my support to Hon. Sakwa Bunyasi’s amendment, I want to beg that when we are voting, ensure that every vote counts. I was seated right next to Hon. Nixon Korir. My vote was counted and gadgets worked. Hon. Nixon Korir’s card did not work. The lady from the ICT department who was here confirmed that it did not work. The gentleman who is the Head of the Department has further confirmed and has gone to reconfigure card No.131 and Gathoni Muchomba’s card No.330. You can confirm if it is the ICT officer who has gone to reconfigure. For the record, ascertain that each vote counts. It is the numbers that will eventually count but for those numbers to count, every card and gadget must be configured to work. Back to the amendment by Hon. Sakwa Bunyasi, I support it. As you are aware, as we speak, the IEBC has already received approved and certified nomination rules of political parties for all elective positions. Therefore, what we are asking coalition political parties to do – unless we are contemplating that we will change the Elections Act and IEBC regulations on nomination rules for political parties – will not be practical now. Apart from the Presidential vote, coalition parties will not be able to nominate candidates for elective positions. It is on that basis that I support the amendment by Hon. Bunyasi."
