Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank all the Senators for their lively contribution to this Motion. I have nothing useful to add to what the Senators have said and no point of reply has risen out of what most Senators have said, except to support the Motion.

Let me read it; “You send an SMS of the mobile phone device to mobile code 1555. The number is supposed to match your IMEI so that then, you will tell whether your device is genuine or not.” That is the answer to the question but in terms of what the agency is doing, they are running a programme against purchase of counterfeit goods. There is also an attempt to strengthen the seizure of counterfeit goods. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) gave us very many answers regarding questions raised by Members. However, we requested the IEBC to split the answers so that questions by Sen. Khaniri, Sen. Obure and another one on another issue which I cannot remember now come separately. Otherwise, the Committee has received the answer from the IEBC on preparation for the next General Election together with a programme on how it will undertake the work. If you allow me, I will present it on Tuesday.
