    "content": " I do not deny the constitutionality of appealing against a disputed election. However, I am against post-election violence as a result of rejection of outcome of elections. Thank you very much, Prof. Oundo, for reminding me that we also experienced post-election violence in 1992. I had forgotten about that but check the record on who rejected the outcome of the elections. You will trace it to whatever I am saying. Anyway, let us not over-legislate to try and cure a problem that does not exist. That is what I am simply saying. If you watch Kenyans before announcement of election results, you will see they stay together, marry one another, borrow sugar from one another, own companies together and do business together. Only after announcement of election outcome and subsequent rejection of the same do we witness violence. I am just trying to implore the House not to over-legislate. The nullification of the 2017 presidential election result was simply because of transmission of results. It was not because of the numbers or because the winner was not known. It was because of the process of transmitting the results from point A to point B. If I were to support the Bill a little, then I would support that part. I oppose this Bill because there is nothing at all about voting rights of the 6.5 million persons living with disabilities (PWDs). Some of them cannot access voting stations or the print media. I reject this Bill in totality."
