    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for taking them back to school. I want the people of Narok County to realise that when the Supreme Court delivered its judgment, it was very clear. It was clear that the IEBC was given 60 days to conduct an election within the law and Constitution. I oppose this Motion because it seeks to amend the Constitution through the back door. You cannot even apply the law in this election. You need to go back and read the judgment of the Supreme Court; it is very clear on its essence. I want the people of Narok County to realise that instead of the Jubilee administration recognising the fight that most Kenyans or the blood that was poured for us to get our independence and freedom, it is bringing matters of national interest and turning them into issues of Private Bills. An amendment to the election laws is not a Private Bill; you ought to realise that. Election Laws (Amendment) Bill should not be a Private Member’s Bill, we ought to realize that it is not for the benefit a few people. We have children and a country that we have fought so hard for. Any one purporting to amend certain things so that they can use our money to get themselves into power should be ashamed. We are sick and tired of a Government that wants to control people by amending the Constitution through the back door."
