    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I would like to support the Election Laws (Amendment) Bill. I thank our leadership and the Joint Parliamentary Select Committee that worked hard to build consensus and bring a Bill that is nearly acceptable. I thank the leaders of the two coalitions in this country for agreeing to work together to move this country forward as far as electoral reforms are concerned. Some of the people who agitated for electoral reforms lost their lives during the street protests that took place in this country. I honour them for putting their lives on the line so that we can have electoral reforms that will ensure we have free and fair elections that are representative of the will of the Kenyan people. Before making a few points at this juncture, I would like to say that we really struggled to get where we are today. However, we did not go to the streets to stop people from party-hopping, grass-hopping or any other kind of hopping."
