excuses for some of the players to play it rough. I hope this Bill is meant for the 2027 elections. If it is meant for the elections that are due in 120 days from now, this amendment will not be attainable if it has to go through all the stages of a Bill. If it is a Bill that is being pushed down the throat of the National Assembly, like the BBI Bill, it is a risk. This is not the time to introduce a Bill that will raise political tensions. We are only a few days away from the ...

Okay. I withdraw and apologise but there was post-election violence in 1997, 2007, 2013 and 2017. There must be something that causes the violence. In 2002, we did not experience any post-election violence. We had a peaceful change of regime.

I do not deny the constitutionality of appealing against a disputed election. However, I am against post-election violence as a result of rejection of outcome of elections. Thank you very much, Prof. Oundo, for reminding me that we also experienced post-election violence in 1992.

Hon. Speaker, I arise to ask Question No. 095/2022 to the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary state the total amount of money collected per county as fine from the motorcycle ( boda boda ) riders crackdown carried out across the country during the month of March 2022 and particularly starting from Tuesday, 8th March 2022?

Hon. Speaker, the ruling in the Supreme Court also concurs well with yours. It is a good ruling and we thank the Judges. The “Handshake brothers” love you Building Bridges Initiative, but Kenyans hated you more. Rest in peace, Building Bridges Initiative (BBI)!

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have listened carefully to the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriation Committee. I recognise and appreciate that pending bills must be settled. This is important because we will have money circulating within the economy. However, there is one thing that deeply concerns me and my heart was aching when Hon. Florence Mutua, the woman Representative for Busia County, was discussing the slashing of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
