    "content": "Clause 6 seeks to amend Section 39 of the Elections Act to provide for electronic transmission and physical delivery of results. This amendment is very key, especially given the fact that technology can fail in some circumstances. We do not have technology in most remote parts of this country. Isiolo County, where I come from, is one of the areas affected. Finally, Clause 8 of the Bill seeks to amend Section 44A of the Elections Act to obligate the IEBC to put in place a complementary mechanism for identification of voters in case the Electronic Voter Identification (EVI) kit fails. Just to share my experience, on 8th August when we were voting, most of my voters, especially ladies, could not be electronically identified because of the henna on their fingers. I lost close to 500 votes. When I saw this amendment, I felt very happy. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
