    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am entitled to my opinion. I see Hon. Jude wanting to complain. This Motion should have been brought earlier before we went to the final voter registration but by bringing it now, I am wondering whether we are going to extend the voter registration or we are going to proceed. As a country, we should decide whether we want continuous voter registration all the way through or we just have one month every year to register voters. We should have a continuous voter registration so that people who have IDs can register. Hon. Jude Njomo has even suggested that people who apply for jobs should not be given jobs either in the military or police service if they have not voted? What if you just got your ID and you have just entered into the stream where you can be registered as a voter but you have not voted? I believe we should not tie the voter registration to any job because that will be against the Bill of Rights. The way this Motion is, I will oppose it unless something changes. With those few remarks I would like to end here and say that the Motion needs to be changed."
