    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I am well guided. What I am saying is that Azimio was part of it, so it is still part of the NADCO report. Sen. Onyonka said in the morning it was a Kenya Kwanza’s report. I am just saying a fact that already exists in Standing Order No.105. I can still replace that with the NADCO/Azimio proposal because Kenyans are aware of the proposals that came from the other factors. In conclusion of the aspect of technology, let us not overate technology. We should only be worried about hacking. Also, how many places have network in this country, for instance, Lokitaung’, Namanga, El Wak in Mandera and Marsabit, are there network? Let us be realistic that it cannot be possible to use technology across the nation in terms of elections. We should say let us use hybrid; both manual and electronic so that we are fair. Every Kenyan has a right to vote as it is a universal suffrage. If you introduce obstacles like technology, we will disenfranchise many Kenyans not to vote. Therefore, on the use of technology, I am proposing we use a hybrid system, where technology or the manual applies, so be it, so that we protect the integrity of elections. I hope this will be the last amendment on election laws. We have amended these election laws until it has lost value. We do not even know the origin of the first law in 2011 after the promulgation of the 2010 Constitution. I will only support this amendment with an amendment, but as it is, I reject it. I thank you."
