    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to salute the Committee for a truly revolutionary approach to this very fundamental area and hope that they will continue investigating it. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, as my colleagues, hon. Ogindo and Koech, have said, I totally agree with them that the recognition of a Kenyan outside the territory should only be by passport to confirm that they are truly out in exercise of their right to travel. An identity card will expose us to many problems. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, if you look at regulation 33(f), you will find that the right to vote is a very difficult right to limit, partly because it is in the Bill of Rights. Therefore, whilst I accept these recommendations at this point, it must be important to bear in mind two things. There are a number of countries in the world that limit the influence that the diaspora vote has on a presidential election for good reason. I would rather leave this to the Committee to continue discussing and debating, because this right is supposed to be exercised and applied progressively."
