    "content": "As a result of what we learned from the elections misfortune, this country set up the Kriegler Commission, whose Report was adopted by this House. This then led us to overhauling our election management process. Under Article 88 of the Constitution, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is to be established. On 31st May, 2011, this House passed The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Bill, which was assented to by His Excellency the President on 5th July, 2011. The First Schedule of that Act, Section 1, states as follows:- “Within 14 days of the commencement of this Act, the President shall, in consultation with the Prime Minister, and with the approval of the National Assembly, appoint a Selection Panel of two persons being one man and one woman nominated by the President, two persons being one man and one woman nominated by the Prime Minister, one person nominated by the Judicial Service Commission, one person nominated by the Kenya Anti-Corruption Advisory Board, one person nominated by the Association of Professional Societies of East Africa, with the respective bodies nominating under paragraphs (c), (d) and (e) for purposes of making their nominations, each to propose and submit two names of nominees being one man and one woman to the Clerk of the National Assembly.”"
