    "content": "Mr. Speaker Sir, I withdraw. We are not here to bend any law as earlier stated by Sen.Wetangula. We are only trying to give each and every Kenyan an opportunity to participate in the voting process in case the electronic or biometric system fails. Let me commend the Committee of Sen. Wako and other stakeholders who led the process and with your input, Mr. Speaker, Sir.I want to give two crucial examples: In the 2007 General Election, the current leader of opposition Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga was almost denied the chance of voting when his name was not found in the Lang’ata Constituency Electoral Commission Register. However, there was a backup which was called the Black Book which had the name of the former Prime Minister and in the process he was allowed to vote. So we are not trying to bend any law. Still in this same House, incase our electronic voting system fails, the Clerk who has all the records normally calls out the names of Senators to participate in the manual voting process."
