    "content": "an opportunity to get into Government. We must also make it clear that unlike those days, we cannot establish a government in any way other than that provided for in the Constitution. Such a move is prohibited under Article 3(2) of the Constitution. Therefore, we must as a House stand firm to uphold the Constitution. Let us ensure that the sanctity of the ballot and the vote-count following the end of the voting exercise, counts at the end of the day. I also take this opportunity to ask the House that should the time come when we will need to speak to the amendments that were alluded to by the Supreme Court – more so on expounding the provisions of Section 44(a) of the Elections Rules, 2007 on the use of a complementary system to transmit results and identify voters – this House rises to the occasion and ensures that we protect the sanctity of the ballot, so that Kenyans can vote without necessarily being held hostage by technicalities and all the other things that have been raised by the Supreme Court. With those remarks, I support."
