    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, the sentiments of the hon. Members as they approved the Procedural Motions are very clear. That is, indeed, the reason we are amending the law. It is because the Rules and Regulations that were supposed to be approved by this House by 4th September are so critical and the House only had one day to approve those Rules and Regulations. That would have been unfair to this House and the people of Kenya, because it is absolutely necessary that this House, in approving those Rules and Regulations, looks at them, gives the public time to look at them, hears the views of the members of the public, deliberates on them, discusses them, holds Committee hearings and approves them. Since we did not have all that time, we are forced to amend the law so that instead of the Rules being approved six months to the elections, we have about two months, so that the approval period is four months to the elections, which allows us a bit of time to look at these rules and regulations."
