"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for also giving me a chance to support the amendments by my colleague - our sister. I thank her for having brought this important Bill to this House. I want to congratulate her for having thought hard and especially at a time like this when we need to put measures in place to see how we can correct what has already cost Kenyans billions of money and time. I congratulate Members who have been appointed to the select Committee and assure Kenyans that these are men and women of integrity and knowledge, and are equal to the task. They will make sure that they have perused through the amendments to the election laws and will come up with amendments that will help this country move forward. In the same breath, I wish to urge the other political divide of this House to also respect the independence of this House. They should forward the names of their Members to also sit in that Committee and contribute to the amendments on the election laws which can go a long way in correcting what they thought was a mess in the election that was done on 8th of August, 2017. At the same time, we should also respect Parliament just the way we respect the Supreme Court of Kenya because of their independence. They have even made a ruling"
