    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, of course, the IEBC has been congratulated for conducting very good elections, especially when they are small elections; like in the manner of LSK or small by-elections. They have always been very good, but it looks like it is always overwhelmed whenever there is a general election. Of course, one of the ways of moving forward - I am sure that hon. Alice Wahome is in agreement – is that we need to reform the Commission, perhaps, make it leaner because in other jurisdictions we have had leaner commissions that have also conducted very good elections. So, it is not just reforms, because perhaps, my coalition did lose elections, but it is to reform the IEBC in a manner that makes it efficient. It looks like the nine commissioners are only chasing tenders and are not worried about the outcome of the elections. So, in that, perhaps, we are on the same page with hon. Alice Wahome. Therefore, it is not just because CORD lost the elections, but it is because IEBC needs to be efficient, one that gives us credible and good elections."
