    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I support the Bill as it has come at the right time. This is the only House mandated by the Constitution to make laws. All the laws that we have in Kenya and other countries are made in Parliament. That is our role and we should refrain from unknown fears. This House is well constituted. We have all the categories of interest groups, lawyers and religious people. It is a House that has quality personalities that are supposed to make laws. We cannot make laws outside this House. This Bill is very important. We only need to mobilise ourselves, propose amendments and come up with a good content that will remain as a legacy. We make laws for posterity. We also bring amendments that take care of a certain problem. It might be a crisis or a problem that was experienced before. In Kenya, we experience problems during elections and people lose their lives. Commissioners are sons and daughters of people and some have lost their jobs due to mismanagement, suspicion or not meeting the interests of some people. We are in this House to cater for various interests and protect Kenyans of all categories wherever they are."
