This is my role and it is the plenary to either agree with my proposal or disagree with my proposal,” Duale said on Thursday at the floor of National Assembly.Duale asked everybody to read the Bills and verify that no section affects either the Supreme Court or the Judiciary.“What this Bill is trying to do is one, rise to the occasion to the judgement given by the Supreme Court, both by the majority and the minority, that Parliament must make changes to the laws used to govern the elections,” he said.“And two the the bill is saying, let the manual system and the electronic transmission, move concurrently and that the chairman must have the forms before he announces the winner,” he added.He said the Bills are only attempting to 'clean-up' the law in line with the decision of the Court of Appeal in the Maina Kiai's case.
