    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to this Motion. This is the last time I am talking as a Member of Parliament. I will not be here again. I have had a chance. I wanted to be a Member of Parliament in 1992. I participated in multiparty politics to bring multi-party democracy that we are enjoying now. I want to thank the people of South Mugirango who saw it fit at the right time to give me a chance to serve them. I came in through a by-election in 2010. I won the last election and I thank God for that, but more important, the people of South Mugirango. I am doing my second term as you are aware. I feel that I have done the best for my people. This is not the place for me to be God willing. So, I have opted out not to come back here but to serve the people of Gusiiland, Kisii County. I always say that if God touches their hearts, they will give me a chance to be their Governor come 8th August, 2017. I have had tremendous interactions with our colleagues here. We have lived like a family and as you know, in a family there are always quarrels and clashes. However, we have remained together, especially when Parliament came under attack. I have seen both sides of the House unite to defend the independence of Parliament. I am touched that we are not divided. We have had divisions on party issues. This country belongs to all of us. We are looking forward to having a peaceful election such that whoever wins in the election is declared the rightful winner. This country is one. I urge IEBC to ensure that the voting system is electronic. Let them prepare well for the election. They should not hype the idea that we shall vote by electronic means but on the last day they resort to a manual system. That can cause a crisis in this country. So, I urge the IEBC to prepare for the elections properly. We hope there will be no problems with the electronic system of voting and that people will accept the results as they will be announced.
