    "content": "With regard to the tasks required of the IEBC, I support the request for an additional 14 days. However, I urge the members of the panel to ensure they do not consider these 14 days as an abundance of time. There is a risk that, despite being granted the additional time, they may fail to effectively manage the interview process. I do not expect them to return to this House to request more time as we must prioritize minimizing the resources utilized in conducting these interviews There is a secretariat funded by the taxpayer. The taxpayers themselves are eagerly awaiting the establishment of a commission to facilitate the conduct of by- elections. I encourage the panel to make proper use of the additional time they have requested, should this Motion pass, to ensure they conclude the process effectively. This will enable the people of Kenya to have a functional IEBC, one that is well- prepared for the 2027 elections. It will also allow sufficient time for the commission to process all necessary tasks and to ensure they represent the interests of the Kenyan people in their work. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support this Motion and ask the hon. Members to equally support this important Motion."
