    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to second this very important Motion. Before I do so, allow me to say being a leader in this country who has been on these streets for a while, I am seeing the 13th Parliament - both the Senate and the National Assembly - demonstrating serious maturity and commitment to their legislative role. I say this because starting with this House this is the second time you are recalling is for a Special Sitting. As the public can see, we are here in full numbers. This is serious commitment. Secondly, the National Assembly has risen to that maturity by unanimously agreeing to move that this Bill that is before us passes without amendments. That the Senate Majority Leader is asking us to pass this Bill without amendments is the maturity the country needs. We cannot be divided on everything, including the important and the small things. We must demonstrate national leadership by agreeing on issues that require to be fixed, like the IEBC. For those who are uncomfortable that probably political parties should be given more people and that kind of argument, let me tell you, you are here today because you were elected on the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), the Jubilee Party and so on. Four years from now, you have no idea on which party you will be elected. Politics is dynamic. Therefore, by rooting yourself in a positon that your coalition or party wants you to push, you are refusing politics is dynamic."
