    "content": "Indeed, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to support the hon. Member by making the following remark. The forthcoming general election is not just about identifying a President, a Deputy President and all the array of leaders. It is about implementing the Constitution. To be specific, it is about implementing Article 90 on party lists, Article 97 on the constitution of the new National Assembly, Article 98 on the composition of the Senate and Article 100 of the Constitution on the promotion of representation of marginalized groups. If we do not enjoin the CIOC, we are worried because Justice Krigler, in his recommendations--- With your permission, I will quote what Justice Krigler told us in one bullet. In bullet two, Justice Krigler told us that:- “Without delay, the electoral commission should start developing an integrated secure tallying and data transmission system, which will allow computerized data entry and tallying at constituencies, secure simultaneous transmission of individual polling stations level data to the national tallying centre, and the integration of these results handling system in a progressive election result announcement system”. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will recall that in the absence of this system whereas 2002 was said to have been successful, it was not. This is because you will recall wananchi went and demanded that President Kibaki be announced the winner three days before the end of tallying. Tallying ended on 3rd and that was when they had the results. In 2007, Mr. Speaker, Sir, you know what happened. Therefore, if we enjoin this Committee, then we want to put pressure on the IEBC to tell us why they do not want to computerize the registration of voters. I thank you."
