    "content": "Somebody may have stayed long in a rural area. They may be known as a carpenter or he sells things. If he gives tanks, he might be known as “Wamatangi”, or “Wamashati” if he sells shirts. I know someone in Uasin Gishu who is called “Koti Moja” because he has one coat. That is how people have known him. He should be allowed to use Koti moja on the ballot and the voter will know that is the person who we want to elect as governor, for instance, if that is what he is going for. I am not sure, I heard about the name when we were in Eldoret recently. This is a brief Bill. I wish members could pass it quickly. I hope this is one of the last amendments to the electoral laws. This is because, as we said and it was noted in the Krieggler Commission, these changes to the electoral legal framework should come as early as possible and not too late towards the elections. Remember, we are about to go to party primaries, I think we will be doing so in April. This law should have been passed by both Houses well in advance so that people can apply to the IEBC using the prescribed form, as described in this law for them to be allowed to use their popular names. I do not know what Sen. (Eng.) Maina’s popular name is. Kirinyaga is his real name. I know which one I would give him if I was to be a voter in Nyeri County."
