    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I just wish to indicate that I am serving my fourth term and would want to encourage this House to borrow from history. Once elections are done with, the country moves on. So, let us not get stuck at a point where we still want to feel like we are electioneering. Our side of the coalition went to court, which ruled against us. We were called all manner of names like ‘hot air’, ‘cold air’ and ‘wild goose chasers’. Despite all that, we accepted and moved on. Therefore, I think these petitions are in very bad taste as they are taking the country back to the electioneering period. As at now, we need to let the commissioners go on with their work. Let the ones who are supposed to retire do so honourably. Equally, let the ones who want to continue with their work continue. Even if you look at the ruling of the Supreme Court, there is nothing untoward that has been said about them. They actually did not do anything illegal. The country must realise that we are moving on and we must stop getting stuck. Let us borrow from history. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
