    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity to contribute. At the outset, I want to say that Hon. David Ochieng was motivated to sponsor this Bill so that he can help many Kenyans. As we go through the learning process, which my colleagues have spoken to, of the new constitutional dispensation among the many things that are uncertain is exactly the issue of the date of the next general election. Some bodies like the county assemblies are under the current Constitution. It states that they last for a period not less than five years. It is also a fact that presidential and parliamentary elections in this country are to be done within the fifth year after a general election. For that purpose, this was a very important Bill. It cures a certain unfortunate state of our current Constitution. For that reason, that Bill was in fact very important. It deserves to be given due consideration."
