Up to this end, the matter does not concern counties. We will, therefore, not require a Division on it.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute on this Bill. I also want to thank my brother, Sen. Olekina, for coming up with these amendments.

We need to just know that we want this country as one, to belong to all of us and I should be given the right to vote for whoever I want to vote for. It is not the systems that are lacking, but we abuse them left, right and centre.
