"content": "Mr. Temporary Chairman, this deals with the issue of if somebody dies before the constitution of the assembly. However, it does not deal with the real reason why last time they delayed for almost five months. This is a matter that should come in another amendment in another Act of Parliament or Bill. After the list went to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and a national election took place, those people were assumed to have been elected, as a matter of fact. I do not know why the IEBC went through review after review and to court after court denying these people the right to participate. We should amend the law so that after the list has been put in place before the election, if there is any dispute, then it is brought forward as a petition so that these people are elected to constitute the assembly. If we let what happened the last time happen again, then these assemblies will never sit. Probably another amendment will be done in the Elections Act to deal with the issue. I support."
