    "content": " Madam Temporary Speaker, I never called the Speaker a fraud. I said the vote was a fraud, not the Speaker. I want to urge East Africa to move to the level of the European Union (EU). If we want EALA as a Parliament to be effective and representative, it is my humble view that, in future, we should not have National Parliaments as the Electoral College. We should have members of EALA being elected by the people of East Africa in special constituencies. If you go to Europe, the members of the European Parliament are elected by universal suffrage. Constituencies are defined. For example, here in Kenya, we are entitled to nine members. If we take into account the population, we can zone counties from 47 to nine electoral areas. We allow those people who want to be elected to campaign in those special areas. In the EU, they have zoned themselves that way. They allow parties to present candidates. That is why you sometimes find the EU Parliament being led by left-wingers or the ultra-conservatives. Of late, there is a mix of a few neo-Nazis and hardnosed 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"
