    "content": "system is you can know which line is longer than the others. Unfortunately, things would turn and the shorter line would be declared the winner. We need to be very careful and I am happy the Chair of the Committee is here. We are playing with the minds and lives of Kenyans. Personally, I speak what is in my heart. I come from a hostile area. We neighbour Uganda and there is no difference between them and us because we are all in the East African region. We also play one national anthem of East African Community (EAC). For a Committee meeting to go on, the quorum needed is only nine members out of 29. You will find that many were absent with apologies but few attended. Even here today when we were passing these regulations, the House was almost empty. I do not want to lie because I am a Christian by faith. We were deciding something that can affect the lives of millions of Kenyans. I believe and pray that other Kenyans can also follow whatever was decided today. If they are in agreement with it, let it be. If not, they can take other steps. We do not want to repeat it. People now talk about what happened in 2007/2008. For us, the war started even before Independence. We always take sides along tribal lines. You belong to where your people are. This is the time we need to talk. This is a different era. We want to correct the evils that are now developing in our hearts, are taking over our minds and are getting stronger. I am happy and I respect the Committee. I have gone through the regulations and most of them are perfect. I am a teacher by profession and I have seen it. Let us move with other Kenyans. I wanted to ask whether communities participated when we were formulating those regulations. Those Regulations will guide the elections. Whoever will be elected will be here for five years. What type of a person will we bring here? What will we show others when we are here? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
