    "content": "When this amendment is passed and fast-tracked, it will be easy to use the name that is most popular on the ground. When someone loses an election, they will always have an excuse. One of the excuses they use is to claim that they were popular, but when they went to the ballot they lost because their popular names were not there. This will end. People will not have an excuse of saying that their popular names were not used at the ballot. Let us support this Bill. I hope we will conclude it today when Division comes and vote for it so that we also allow the Members of the National Assembly to do so. I want to thank Sen. (Eng.) Maina and wish him well in his new journey. He has been a Member of Parliament (MP) before and he is now a Senator. I see the price he is setting is very high. I did not know his cards until I saw it on media that he is going for the top job in the county. I hope and pray that he will consider the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) as the vehicle he will use to vie for this year’s elections and become the Governor of Nyeri County. I congratulate and wish him. He is a prolific politician. So, he knows where the signal is coming from. He is our senior. He knows the direction. This is an important Bill. Let us pass it and allow Kenyans to use their popular names in the elections and on the ballot papers so that they get the leaders they deserve. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support."
