    "content": "While it may be too late in the day, if it will add value to our electioneering period or the elections that are supposed to happen in August, I do not see it doing any harm. It has undergone the due process. I am sure that the relevant Committee of this House has done the necessary scrutiny of the Bill and conducted public participation as well. Because of that, it is the tradition of this House to support the work done by our Departmental Committees if we feel that they have done their work well. In particular, I support this Bill because it allows Kenyans with valid passports or identity cards to vote wherever they are supposed to vote in a polling station of their choice. In the past, we had to have a voter’s card to do so, which was hard to come by sometimes. But use of the identity card is the way to go and that is the way it is done in many other jurisdictions. An identity card is sufficient for one to be enabled to vote."
