    "content": "The Jubilee Coalition has faith in terms of the contributions people will make. In this country, it is at times very unfortunate. People make statements saying that: “Since Baba has read and said it is bad, then the document is bad”. You will find that the person making that kind of statement is very knowledgeable enough to advise Baba . If you cannot advise Baba with your knowledge, your knowledge is of no value to the society. It is important we look at this Bill, criticise it and the public has 10 days to look at it. Let us look at it and align it with our Constitution. If there are areas we can pinpoint, let us come and point them out instead of just saying the document is wrong. When you look at the amendment to this Bill, we are saying that the Presiding Officer and the RO must take responsibility. If they do not take responsibility and are in breach of the law, they must be charged. They must act responsibly. What is wrong with that? When Kenyans have woken up, gone to their polling centres and voted, that voting must be counted at the end of the day. We expect that. At the constituency tallying centre, whatever the RO declares is final. Let that be what is transmitted to the National Tallying Centre and tallying to be done for the results that were announced at the constituency level. We must be accountable. What is wrong with saying that all the documents must be verified and all agents take responsibility? This amendment Bill is in good faith. It is going to help our country. It is going to make sure the election is free, fair and credible. With those few remarks, I second."
