    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to agree with many of the speakers before me that this Motion should have come two months ago. There is such great voter apathy on the ground today. I do not know what persuasion we are going to come up with at this point. My suggestion is that we should extend the Mass Voter Registration II by another one month, continue the exercise that we are doing as CORD, Jubilee and other parties, so that we encourage our people to come out in big numbers and register as voters. We should also encourage them to come out in large numbers on the voting day. These other mechanisms that we are putting across right now may not be easily applicable. We need to have measures that are sustainable in the future. The other thing that we need to do, as Kenyans, is that it should be automatic for everybody who turns 18 to become a voter. This voter registration exercise has been marred with so many complications and so many issues. Many people are double registered and the ones who want to transfer from their previous voting centres to others are having difficulties doing that. I urge that we encourage the people like we have been doing, but also come up with a mechanism that is going to be long-lasting and that should go on even in future. Thank you."
