    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. First, I would like to commend the job well done by the NADCO team. Yesterday, the Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Cheruiyot, was very eloquent and quite sober in his brief. I commend them for the job well done. I know it was not an easy job and they were dedicated to this course. Madam Temporary Speaker, when I saw the technical team with Professor Adams and Zein, I knew their report was going to be a good report. Yes, I believe it is a good report. Madam Temporary Speaker, much has been said. I want also to commend you on your contribution. I really do not want to water down what you said because it was quite heavy. You contributed quite well and spoke for all of us. I only have one or two issues on electoral justice. I feel strongly that having an effective electoral dispute mechanism protect the fundamental political rights. Therefore, it is long overdue for us to have the electoral justice that is in place, the integrity of elections and the rule of law. The other issue is the restructuring and reconstitution of the IEBC. Justice delayed is justice denied. It has taken a while. You can imagine a body that does not have commissioners or drivers, so nothing can be done. Madam Temporary Speaker, so far, we have had issues of deaths of Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) and the rest. Nonetheless, they cannot be replaced since there are no commissioners and the electoral body is non-functional."
