    "content": "I know that what I am attempting to amend here might look obvious but as an engineer, we are taught to appreciate that the most unobvious things are the obvious things. Just before we went into elections this year, we had a big battle in this House when we were demanding that the IEBC brings regulations here and they were saying that they are an independent body and they are not obligated to bring their regulations here. This was until we went back to the law and showed them. Before that I had battled, and God rest his soul in eternal peace, with the late Mutula Kilonzo to bring an amendment like this one. He accepted reluctantly and even commented that he did not see what an engineer was doing trying to amend laws done by lawyers. So, it may look obvious but our training is such that obvious things are sometimes not very obvious. So, since it does not offend any part of this Act, I plead with the Chair that we accept it."
