    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank all Senators and you for the wisdom that you have given us this afternoon. By referring this Bill to the relevant Committee, you have given Kenyans an opportunity to participate fully in the enactment of this Bill. I am sure the Chairperson will move this country forward. The whole country is looking at the Senate to ensure we have a peaceful election. Therefore, we should enact laws that will help this county move forward and have peaceful general elections. Article 38 is about political rights. This Article can only be amended through a referendum. It is a right for every Kenyan who has attained the age of 18 years to register as a voter and, indeed, be allowed to vote during elections. Let us make it very easy for them to know whether they are registered as voters through their mobile phones. Let us calm the country by passing the right laws that will guarantee us peaceful elections next year and in future. I beg to support. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
