    "content": "The other issue that I think other Members have spoken to is the issue of verification of signatures that we need to speak to because we saw when the signatures were taken to the IEBC, we had to spend a lot of money running into millions that we did not need to. I remember when we brought the Okoa Kenya last time, one of the reasons we were told our signatures were refused is because people even had elephants as signatures. Constitutionally, there is nothing stopping you from having an elephant as your signature or even drawing Millie Odhiambo as your signature. What the IEBC ought to do is to verify whether you are a voter not your signature because they do not have the mandate or the knowhow to determine what people’s signatures look like. However, they can verify if you are a voter and that is what we should be providing."
