    "content": "instance, it took six invitations before the CS for Lands was able to appear before the Committee. I wish to report to the House that the Committee is pursuing this matter and a comprehensive report will be tabled before the House in conclusion. Madam Temporary Speaker, the third Statement is the one that was sought by Sen. Mary Seneta on the roadmap of activities leading to the 2022 General Elections. The Committee has held extensive engagements with stakeholders on this matter including the IEBC and civil society organizations under the umbrella of elections observers. Some of the key observations that came to the fore is that the IEBC lacks the financial human and technical resources to prepare adequately for any referendum or elections within the remaining period before we have our General Elections in August next year. Madam Temporary Speaker, we were shocked to learn that the IEBC has not been able to undertake any voter registration campaigns between the period of 2017 and 2021. On this particular aspect, we were informed that there are potential over 15 million registered voters that are yet to be captured by IEBC and they need adequate financial allocation to bring these Kenyans within the eligible voters in this country. Also, we were informed that the IEBC is running short of time on creation of new polling stations to comply with the law that requires each polling station to constitute of 500 registered voters."
