    "content": "I pray that a special announcement be made when this Bill is coming for a Committee of the Whole so that we are all there. By that, we will get to know the betrayers of the Senate because some are seated with us. They are supporters of the National Assembly because, in the next election, some have even declared that they are going to run for seats in the National Assembly. Some of us have been there, and we do not want the National Assembly ever again. We are in a senior House and we must put our house in order. It is not a solution for you to support whatever the National Assembly brings because you intend to run there in the next election. We must make a special arrangement so that at the Committee of the Whole, we support the amendments that JLAC has proposed. That way we are able to keep the dignity of this House, especially on matters to do with the delimitation of boundaries. As I conclude, it is all very well to prepare a panel to appoint IEBC commissioners and everybody else. However, here is a critical thing about the automation and the systems in the IEBC that we have not yet touched on in this Bill. When I inquired why nothing has been discussed about the electoral system, how we vote, how we transmit the results to the constituency, and how the presidential results are being transmitted up to the Bomas of Kenya at the national tallying centre, I was told that there will be regulations by the IEBC. I pray that this be done in good time. The problem with human beings is that they are subject to manipulation. Systems, if left to work efficiently, are less efficient subject to manipulation as opposed to human beings. So, the way forward--- Madam Temporary Speaker, I request one minute to conclude."
