"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I join you in acknowledging all the Members who have spoken and thanking them for their very valuable contributions. I know many of them would have also loved to say something about either all the nominated Commissioners or a few of them. Hon. Farah was raring to say something, but we had spoken for him. My Vice-Chairman here, Hon. Mwengi Mutuse, was gearing to make a valuable contribution, and everybody else. Thank you so much for this. To the IEBC Commissioners, we will approve your nominations this afternoon, but Kenyans are watching. They are saying if you do not have the spine to conduct elections, start growing one now. We have to have a fair, just, credible, verifiable election that every Kenyan is going to be satisfied with. Those of us who may differ with those who are supporting, please, do not make any threats to the country. We have our Constitution. We have our laws and we have institutions which we must have faith in. I know for sure there are trust issues with the IEBC. It is high time these seven commissioners now grew the trust so that Kenyans can believe in this institution, which is very important for the country, known as the IEBC. Thank you so much. With those remarks, I beg to reply."
