    "content": "The amendment seeks to restore the tourism season because we normally have a high tourist season in August and tourism plays a very critical role to the economy of this country. Tourists normally fear because of the violence during the electioneering time. They do not come. This Bill is not being tabled for the first time. This Bill was tabled for the first time under the late Mutula Kilonzo. It was introduced in this House in 2011. By then, he was the Member of Parliament for Mbooni. May the Lord rest his soul in peace. Subsequently, in 2015, the same Bill was introduced in this House by Hon. David Ochieng, the then MP for Ugenya. The Bill has been drafted and we know very well that a constitutional amendment Bill has to go through the 90 days to enhance the public participation. I thank the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs which went round the country to collect views from the public. They came up with a very good report as far as the change of election date is concerned. It is a straightforward Bill. I beg to move and request Hon. Anthony Kiai, the indomitable Member of Parliament for Mukurweini, to second."
