    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, every citizen in this country is not a voter. As I speak, there is no registered voter. When the IIEC starts working, the first job is to construct a voter register for this country. The next thing is to push forward Agenda Four. One of the Agenda Four items is constitutional reforms. We cannot do that unless we have an IIEC in place. The other very fundamental thing that this Commission needs to do immediately is to carry out by-elections. There are quite a number of Kenyans who are not represented in this House. If we pass this IIEC, it will be able to embark on the job and give the people of Bomachage Constituency, their constitutional right to be represented in this House. The other important thing that the IIEC will be doing is to carry out a referendum as soon as we put the constitutional reform in place. We are going to run into a referendum and therefore, the IIEC is very essential."
