    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this amendment to the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill. I wish to thank my friend and neighbour, Member for Ugenya, for bringing this amendment. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if we settle on this date as proposed in the Bill, we will be creating certainty and predictability that is needed. As it stands now, it is not very clear. There is a bit of contradiction. When the Constitution talks about the fifth year, which year are we referring to? Is it January to December or from the time of the event, which in this case is the elections? Therefore, the fifth year will be after March, 2018. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also agree with what the Mover has mentioned; that when we are looking at the elections, let us not just look at the date. In this case, let us not just look at the 4th Tuesday date. No! There is a whole process that goes with it. For example, 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."
