    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, I will do so. We can always substantiate the truth and we will do that. I am trying to say that this law is only talking about the voting, how to vote, where to vote, the tallying, the counting of votes and then, projecting the votes to the country to know the results. That is why I am saying that the issue is not about counting the votes. We were all voted for and that is why we are all here. The votes were counted and announced. It was said that so-and-so won. We even went to the court and it was ruled that so-and-so won. The issue is not about that, but it is about the process of how we got there. That is what we should cure. Madam Temporary Speaker, I said that there is a lot of misinformation and false statements in political campaigns. That kind of misinformation, misleads the voter about the candidate, policies and the election process. I remember and I like giving this example, and I also hope that Sen. Eddy will not start when I give this example. During the Moi era, people were being lied to and were told that, if you do not want Moi, put X where his name is. It was said all over, but you know, by putting an ‘X’ next to a person, that is a mark to vote for someone. That is how people are winning elections, by misleading people. They would tell the voters that if they wanted to vote for someone, they put a right, and if they did not want them, they put ‘X’. So again, you destroy the vote. This is what we are talking about when it comes to misleading people when they are making a decision. We need to protect the voters' rights. The example I have just The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
