    "content": "On the Statement on IEBC, in today‟s world, young people can order food online, they can book tickets online, they can attend church online, they attend weddings online, they attend funerals online, they attend school online and graduate online. Why should we tell these people to go to their local villages, to the chief‟s camp to take voters cards as if they are going for a COVID-19 vaccination? I want to urge the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights of this House to quickly do an audit of the IEBC and its readiness for the next election because we have got a trinity of evil. We have got someone in charge of the data of this country, a data commissioner, someone in charge of transmission, someone in charge of the Election Management Board and those three people were part of the discredited election that almost drove this country into an abyss. There are those who have said even if Oburu Odinga was chairman of IEBC, it should not be a problem. However, I want to tell you that election is the reason why Kenyans kill each other. We are not killing each other now because of curfew, but at election time it will be brother against brother and tribe against tribe. We must get it right. I hope this Statement will call for a bigger audit of the regulations, preparation, procurement and all those things that can ensure and assure Kenyans of a free and fair election."
