"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to convince the hon. Minister that already this person is subject to a fine not exceeding Kshs100,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year or both. Why then should we bar this person from voting in the next elections? We know most of the people who are subjected to this problem register twice without knowing. For example, we, as politicians, may help our supporters to register without knowing that they had registered or you come to learn later that they had registered. You do not know and he does not know that he has been registered or he had lost his voters card because of the illiteracy. Why punish him twice? It is not fair to have double jeopardy. So, I still think that the punishment which is already provided for is sufficient. I stand by this amendment that we must not punish these people twice. We should allow them to vote."
