    "content": "Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) where there appears to be a budget reduction. But on seeking explanation, I am informed that the IEBC is not ready to expend those sums before the year ends. Obviously for that reason, it had to be reduced. For me, to come out here and blame the Minister for Finance for that reason, I think would be unfair. We all understand why the IEBC is not ready to spend that money because of the cases which are going on and the uncertainty about the final results of the wards and, indeed, even the constituencies. However, it is a pity that we are not thinking about introducing certain taxes, which would go a long way in assisting and curbing certain loopholes. One of them would have been, for example, a wind fall tax on, say, the gains on the shilling, which was a temporary gain that was brought about by - to a large extent - bad policy."
