    "content": "which make the presidential candidates continue being in office should apply the way they do to civil servants. If you are a presidential candidate like my good friend, he must be relieved of the Ministerial responsibility so that he can concentrate on his campaigns although I have nothing against my good brother. Secondly, this Bill does not seem to speak on all the issues. If we are going to register our voters up to 4th January, 2013, which provision are we making for the inspection of those registers? You will remember in the last elections, when Mr. Raila went to vote, he realized that his name had disappeared and you know how many other names might disappear including the one of the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs himself if somebody somewhere does not want him to be voted for or to vote for himself. But I want to give the strongest condemnation to an institution known as the IEBC. I want it to be very clear from this House, again and again, that the rate at which the IEBC is performing is going to create problems. The IEBC must be reminded of the fate that befell to the Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK). We do not want to go that way. The elections must be credible; the process in which you realize those Elections must, in itself, be credible and supported by the Kenyan people. The Kenyan people must realize and appreciate that from the beginning that process has continued. If the IEBC does not up its game, this House will be forced to ensure that even if it means removing those commissioners, let them go home because there is something called performance. There is something called delivery. The IEBC is not performing according to the timelines within the law. We are just giving them notice. If need be, this country should stand up and say: “The IEBC, you are not up to the task; you are not performing and you may as well just go home.” Thank you."
