    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to support this Bill but before I do, allow me to take this opportunity to thank the Members of JLAC for making sure that for the first time in the history, this country gets an opportunity to discipline our Commissioners in our electoral system. In the past, IEBC officials were removed from office through demonstrations but today, this House has demonstrated that this country has come of age. We are able to use our justice system and everyone has been given an opportunity to ventilate their issues, and we have removed them. I want to commend this House for a job well done. Secondly, allow me to thank the four patriotic Kenyans who took up Article 3 of the Constitution, and decided to risk and defend the Constitution. I also want to thank the Republican Party, Mr. Dennis Ndwiga Nthumbi, Mr. Geoffrey Langat and Mr. Steve Gerry. These are patriotic Kenyans; I wish all Kenyans can do the same and take such opportunities whenever they arise; to stand and defend the Constitution. Today, we have put our foot down to say the time of impunity and lawlessness is over. This is a country which is going to be ruled by the rule of law and not the rule of the jungle."
