    "content": "Is my time up? Okay, I think I need to wind up. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the reforms that are being proposed before the AU, I hope that we will capture that particular complication, so that we do not have a divide between Christians and Muslims because I have seen people trying to speculate. Earlier, I mentioned the lists that are being circulated about which countries voted for or against; that it is possible to tweak the rules at the level of the chair and the vice- chair, and if possible, even at the level of the commissioners, you have a representation of diversity, even though this is an election. Sometimes you cannot control certain decisions, but at least have a sense of the outcome of the process that every African will feel part and parcel of whether they are Francophone or Anglophone, Portuguese’s speaking Kiswahili, Christian or Muslim from the North or South, East or West of this continent. Nonetheless, this was a good showing. I want to believe that as a leaders, there are many things that we have learned from this particular exercise and how a society can become better. Therefore, I want to yield the Floor to listen to the views of those who agree with me. For those who disagree with me, I am willing to listen and learn. I have shared my thoughts on why I think it is a lie to try and perpetuate that a particular region voted this or the other way. Maybe some people have ways of establishing which country voted in favour and which region did not do this or the other. I want to yield the Floor to listen to those particular people. With those many remarks, I request the Senator for Homa Bay County, none other than Sen. M. Kajwang’, the Chairperson of the County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC), the son of Suba, to second this Motion."
