    "content": "Hon. Speaker, elections are very emotive. I want to urge the IEBC, going forward. The first chair in 2007 was the late Samuel Kivuitu. I was in this House with Hon. Millie, Hon. Kimunya, Hon. Mbadi, Hon. Keynan and Hon. Shaban. The next chair was Isaac Hassan. We now have Chebukati. Let us not discuss 3 commissioners against 4. Let these 7 commissioners move as one team and give this country free, fair, credible and peaceful elections. As political players, we must give them the support they need, both legislatively and budgetary. Let us not dent the credibility of the IEBC. I want to agree with Hon. Mbadi that the IEBC must reconsider the 2017 General Elections that was annulled. The commission must know why that election was annulled because it was the referee. I am sure that in their 2017 Post-Election Evaluation, the IEBC must have seen where the problem was. That has shown the maturity of democracy and elections in our country."
