    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Miriti is my friend and I do not want to respond to that. The electoral registers are not up to date. They have been there for nearly 20 years. We have only been making new registrations. The names of people who have died are still there. The other day, I heard the ECK Chairman saying that they are going to up-date the registers. There is no point of up-dating these registers. They should be scrapped and we start new registrations. If nearly one-third of the names in the register are dead, is that an accurate register? How do you tell who is dead and who is living? That is why you find people using votes of dead people to vote. We have people who have moved from one point to another and they cannot vote any more. We have people who tried to move their names from one polling station to another, but their names were not removed. When they go to vote, they are told that they are double registered. This register should be scrapped so that we can have a new register. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have had so many commissions. Now we have the Kiruki Commission which is investigating the saga of the Artur brothers. The Artur brothers disorganised this country. They disorganised this Government. The people who are being called to the Kiruki Commission to give evidence are very junior officers. If I were the head of the Kenya Revenue Authority and I have given instructions to my junior officers; when you invite them to give evidence, will they tell you that it is Mr. Gumo who told them to say certain things? If they say, I will sack them. So, we are getting no information. If some people can be involved in every department of this Government, including internal security, airport, KAA, immigration, were these people doing these things on their own? This is nonsense. This commission should wind up. With those few remarks, I support."
