    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, really, what we are trying to say is that, if you leave these things to the IEBC, anybody can choose to victimize you on the eve of elections. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, more so, some of these things, for example, certificate of good conduct is not in Siaya, where I come from. You will not force me to get a bus to come and beg somebody to check my record and I have no control. Number two, some of these things like tax evasion is a criminal offence. There are already procedures to deal with such crimes. The punishment should not be that you do not run for an office. Everybody knows that it is a criminal offence. There is the Penal Code which deals with it. We know what a crime is. I want to propose that hon. Amina Abdalla withdraws her amendment or we reject it but we go the hon. Nyambati’s way which says that you sign a self declaration form. Then, if you lie on that form, the police can come and investigate you or the relevant authorities. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I was saying that I was served with a tax demand two or three years ago of about Kshs6 million. They said that I did not file taxes in 2010. I went up to the Commissioner, Waweru and showed my filings then, they corrected it. The other day, two months ago, they gave me tax clearance. Now, when I went there at Continental House, where they are doing this, it is back on my record again."
