    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I think it is important we remember where we are coming from and the success, for example, that we saw with the Interim Independent Electoral Commission of Kenya (IIEC) where the results were being relayed live as they counted. Even halfway, you would already know who has won. The risk we have here is that if we criminalize that and should the IIEC decide that because of disruption in a polling station somewhere in Kipipiri which has only 500 registered voters, until that election that they have said should be postponed is concluded, the presidential results for the entire country should not be announced. The tension that will be created in the country will be unbearable. So, let us look not just in terms of our own election at the local level, but we are talking of this election, includes the election of the President. I would urge the Committee to withdraw this amendment. Let us have this provision, so that it facilitates what we are doing."
