    "content": "you are basically sending the message that you are not prepared to conduct free and fair elections. The IEBC Chairman, Mr. Chebukati, must now be called upon to account and be responsible for their own mistakes and delays and stop blaming Parliament or anybody else for their own failures. If you did not submit the Regulations to Parliament in good time, take full responsibility. Let him explain to Kenyans why they did not submit the Regulations unless they have people they would want to allow to spend massive amounts and then try to blame Parliament. There is a reason why the Election Campaign Financing Act was passed by Parliament. It was to limit the amount of money that people spend. Apart from shocks to the economy, you also want to know where all the money comes from. Now the IEBC, in their wisdom or lack thereof, have decided to sit on the Regulations and bring them when they cannot apply and start blaming Parliament. They must take responsibility. I think you need to give us guidance, so that we do not waste taxpayers’ money with the Committee on Delegated Legislation doing a lot of work in nullity. We do not legislate in vain. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
