    "content": " I think that is a very novel discussion into this, but the way, perhaps, it should go is--- remember also that there is the Elections Act and the Political Parties Act in which there are several dispute resolution mechanisms; the Chair is not seized of information on the jurisdiction of those Commissions. It may well be that they have jurisdiction to entertain disputes which have been referred to the Commission, whichever way. At this level, we may not investigate deeply the contents of that other legislation. Shall I tell hon. Sakaja that he may want to look at it and after six months, he will be able to prefer an amendment and consolidation? I think there is a very good case for consolidation because there is another problem of double jeopardy when several legislations talk about the same offences; any conscientious Kenyan can go to court and say that those sections of the law are burdensome, because all other laws talk of the same offences and punishment. Therefore, you could consolidate and bring them here as a legislative proposal, which then we will harmonise by amending their provisions. Hon. Sakaja, do you think that sits well with you?
