    "content": "Mandela. Although there was a bit of armed struggle, at least they negotiated and when he was released from prison he developed the rainbow nation. Today, as I speak South Africa stands tall in Africa because of the leadership of certain characters. I want to say this because peace delivers better results than any violence. Coming to the 2007 General Election, I want to believe that even if we are enjoying our offices--- Even if it means it will be after the next general election, we want to know who won the 2007 elections. We want to know who lost. We owe it to history and ourselves. This business of just hiding things for convenience is what is ruining this country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, a country that has a new Constitution--- The rule of law must at all times defend constitutionalism and the rule of law, including the business of the House. When we come to this House, the difference between this House and a market place is that this House has rules. I must be able to subscribe to the rules that the House has provided. So, I would like to bring that amendment so that each part of the Republic, for example a place called Merier, where I come from and which is not accessible, can be electronically engaged. Also, the issue of mobile telephony and opening up this country should be captured. We cannot continue employing the normal way of saying, “Which one is more convenient?”, you say “Nairobi” and look at the numbers. Every vote counts, from the Presidency to the dungeons. I want my people’s votes to be counted. I ask Mr. Shakeel to second my amendment."
