    "content": "There are only four objectives in this Bill which have been adverted to very well by Hon. Kimunya. He has done a lot of full disclosure. He said everything that needed to be said the way it is in the Bill. Let me just summarise them in four subsets. One, the Bill deals with transmission of results, which is in Section 39 of the parent Act. It was declared unconstitutional by the courts. Many of the provisions under that Section were declared unconstitutional by the courts. If we proceed with this parent Act the way it is, there will be no legal framework that will control the transmission of results. What is declared void is not there anymore. In other words, there is no legislative framework. There is a Constitution, but there must be a legislation that operationalises it. If you go into an election which cannot be transmitted, it will be shambolic. It will lead to serious chaos. It will be a big problem that will affect the national security of this country. So, this Bill is very important."
