    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the opportunity. Mr Speaker, Sir, on this matter, there are two levels. There is what you are seeing in the House and there is what is on the ground. When you look at how emotive this matter on the ground is--- In Kakamega, you can have time to congratulate and praise the IEBC. I am amazed that an hon. Member, namely hon. Soita Shitanda, can approach me and tell me that we do not move this amendment because his constituency is being interfered with, yet this House wants to struggle and maintain its high standing in society. That high standing can count for nothing if it is not expressed through fairness and justice to the people, who feel that their voice is very small in this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you know very well that the community we call “Batsotso” in the larger Luhya community does not have a Member of Parliament in this House. So, when hon. Shitanda makes clear what it is that the people Lurambi, the Batsotso, want, he is doing so while aware that should we fail, then what happened in the initial stage, when their views were taken and not brought on board by hon. Ligale, might be repeated. I am supporting this and I want to urge Members of this House to recognise that hon. Shitanda"
