    "content": "People have festivities in December. They travel to their home counties. Even buses are always full in December because people travel to be with their families. That is the most ideal time for us to vote. We have had challenges with the last two elections because they were conducted in August, which is a very rainy month. You begin your campaigns in June and July when children are in school. Most of the polling centres are schools. Therefore, it is a challenge for the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to prepare the polling stations, so that people can vote. You even imagine where you have the tallying centre. For instance, the Endebess Technical Training Institute is our tallying centre. The road to that place was quite impassable because of the heavy rains. This made it difficult for everybody to participate in the tallying process. This is a very wise decision. I know that we have people who are opposing the Bill for their own reasons, but majority of Kenyans support it. From the survey that was done by our colleagues and through public participation, 72 per cent of Kenyans support the Bill. That is a very big number of people supporting it. I hope that it will be like the IPSOS Synovate survey which is not credible. The survey which was conducted by the Members is credible."
