    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. Most of the hon. Members who have spoken, including the Mover of this amendment, have given clear reasons for bringing the amendment. I do not want to dwell on the reasons as indicated. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the fundamental aspect of any election is to make sure that as many people as possible, exercise their constitutional right to elect their respective leaders in the six categories, as indicated under the Elections Act. If we have 40 million Kenyans and those who are eligible to go for an election are 20 million, the fact that the date will reduce the number of Kenyans to exercise their constitutional right, I think Hon. Ochieng had all the reasons to bring this amendment. At first, I was not agreeing with him but yesterday, I engaged him and he made it very clear for me. He came to our Committee. We were talking about some other issues and we had an opportunity to talk to him. It is important for us to give an opportunity to as many Kenyans as possible. One of the issues he raised is that as per our The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
