    "content": "This comes at the hindsight of many issues being raised considering constitutional matters and the place of Opposition in this country. We want to move the Opposition from streets to come and do their job. The second and final observation is on the issue of review of election laws. You are aware the Selection Panel of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is ongoing. Your Committee met the IEBC and you and the Chair were prominently there. I did not hear the update on the review and ensuring that the election laws can be discussed. I am happy Sen. Wafula noted the payment of service providers. I wish the Committee went further because I still have some matatu owners and other people who ferried election materials and they are yet to be paid. I wish the Committee would table the pending bills by IEBC, including legal fees. As we speak, Senior Counsel (SC) and Commissioner, Sen. Omogeni - I am happy he is around today – there are still challenges of pending bills such as legal fees and many Kenyans who used matatus to travel. Second is on the aspect of the future of election laws. Third is on the Selection Panel of IEBC. What is their fate? This clamour that we are seeing, the exchange and difference in ideas, is on the ongoing selection panel of IEBC. The Chair of the Committee could note those concerns and maybe in the next quarter include those aspects. Finally, I welcome the beautiful girls and wish them well as they go back. Kindly, you have noted the Senators who have welcomed you. Take a picture with them and they will ensure you get mkate as you go back home. Thank you."
