    "content": "elections? This Bill, unfortunately, does not address all of these issues. During elections, the country is always on edge, and we need to find ways to handle these issues better. We either address them in the regulations or this Bill so that we do not find ourselves in that quagmire again. We have also brought the First Schedule into the main Bill, which is a significant improvement. I congratulate the team for reorganising and aligning things, but we still need to look at the structure of IEBC. The Presiding Officers are critical people in this structure, but they are temporary. They perform crucial tasks before the elections are finalised, such as picking election materials, organising polling centres, tallying results, and handing over results to county officers. Everything happens at the polling centres, and I agree with the proposed amendment that everything should be finalised and announced there. We hope that this change will prevent disagreements over results."
