"content": "Thank you, Temporary Speaker. I was just concluding and saying that the way forward for our electoral system is for us to prepare fool proof automated systems. It is not even in the selection of these people, because even if we select commissioners, some are with you today, some are against you. However, if the opposition and the government side agree on the system, I am sure that we will have less acrimony after the results are announced. We should invest all the attention on the systems rather than the personnel. We have seen from the previous election that people can just do things. Machines do not care, for example when we go to pay taxes at the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). If you are to pay this amount, you must pay. If you have overloaded your lorry, it passes and it is in your name, you must pay. A machine does not know whether you are a Member of Parliament, you are a Senator, or you are a governor. If it is overloaded, you have to pay. This is how systems will help us give more credible results as elections are being done. With those few remarks, Madam Speaker, I beg to support this Bill with those amendments proposed by the JLAC."
