    "content": "Hon. Speaker, this is a very important Bill. What we did yesterday as a Committee of Justice and Legal Affairs Committee was very bipartisan. We had serious experts that appeared before our Committee. In fact, those who were doubting as to the availability of the network in this country noted very clearly that in Garissa, the availability of 3G, which is expected to transmit results, is 4.6 per cent. In Wajir, it is 8.4 per cent; in Migori, 69.3 per cent; in Baringo, 49.1 per cent. Therefore, are we saying that results will not be transmitted from these areas where there is no coverage of telecommunication? Secondly, with regard to the question of identification, it was clearly noted that notwithstanding the fact that someone has been registered biometrically; in Musiro Ward, which was conducted recently by IEBC using modern technology, there were two people who were not able to be identified biometrically. We have Members of Parliament in this House who won elections with a difference of three votes only. Therefore, if you do not allow those people who are not able to be identified for various reasons, some of them are mechanics opening some of those things. Maybe, when you were registering your fingerprints were okay. After some time, they evaporate."
