    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to register my many thanks to Members for supporting the Motion. I have taken cognisance of two matters that were brought to the Chamber’s attention. Hon. Kimunya spoke about marginalisation. We have taken note that marginalisation can be effected in reverse when at times you have very qualified candidates and because their origin is not a minority, they are disqualified. In lieu thereof, we take some mediocre and unqualified candidates merely because they come from the so called marginalised communities. In effect you marginalise the majority when you disqualify a qualified candidate. The second one was raised by the Leader of the Majority Party that there has been effort to reorganise the Independent Elections and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Headquarters by urgently re-organising the office to forestall any efforts that may be made by the new incoming commissioners. We have taken note of that and will call for an urgent retreat with the commissioners so that they can reorganise with the commissioners on full board. I thank you, Hon. Speaker and beg to reply."
