    "content": "We know very well in this country that the biggest problem with the electoral process is nomination of parties. If you thought that was out of our mandate, it is fine but we had to go through that process. I am happy that the mood in the House today is different from yesterday’s when we were condemning the Report. This is a good Report which was well negotiated. We had very agonizing moments and late night sittings. The men and women you put there did a good job. This, I must say, will improve our electoral environment. The electoral infrastructure has actually changed. As mentioned by an Hon. Member in this House, we had a team of ICT experts from the IEBC, independent persons and the Ministry of Information, Communication and Technology appealing before us to look at the issue of ICT. Everybody would like an election process that works. This was something that was well negotiated and thought out. At the end of it, we came up with the Bills required. We came up with a stand-alone Election Offences Bill. For the benefit of Members, in the laws that were there before, even treating or transporting your supporters was an offence, but that is now removed in the Bill. You will see it when the Bill comes.
