    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on Wednesday the 18th February this year, the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) on Constitutional Review tabled a list for nomination of the Chairman and members of the Interim Independent Electoral Commission (IIEC). On the 19th February, following debate, that matter was referred back to the Committee, following reservations by this House on a number of members of that Commission. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the PSC took seriously the views expressed in this House and reservations voiced as far as a number of those individuals we had proposed were concerned. On the 23rd February this year, following several meetings, the PSC decided to reopen that list and replace two nominees; one, representing the Coast Province and another one, representing the Western Province, and re-advertised the post for Chair of the IIEC. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, after advertising, 12 individuals were shortlisted and thereafter interviewed for chairperson of the IIEC. The two individuals we had proposed for Coast and Western Provinces were also replaced. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the PSC, thereafter agreed to forward the following people as Chair and members of the IIEC: - 1. Mr. Ahmed Issak Hassan - Chairperson 2. Mr. Douglas Mwashigadi - Member. 3. Ms. Tiya Galgalo"
