    "content": "to voter transfer, there are many limitations to the effect that one ought to have lived or carried out business in the new constituency for at least six months. We found that to be limiting to Kenyans. Let Kenyans be able to move at any time they want from whatever constituency to wherever they want to go. Let them vote for whoever they want. Sometimes an election is similar to religion. In Kenya, we have freedom of religion through the freedom of association. You can practice your religion without any hindrances. When it comes to elections too, let Kenyans choose whoever they want to vote for, wherever they want to do it. There is no harm in a Kenyan citizen in Garissa choosing to come to Tharaka to vote for me. We do not have to put any limitations, such as having lived there for at least six months or whatever period. There are a raft of other amendments being proposed which, in my view, are good proposals, and we should carry them so that we make the Elections Act good and useful to Kenyans. With those remarks, I support."
