    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, what criteria will the President use to nominate the two people? What criteria will the Prime Minister use to nominate the two people? It is true that they will nominate one man and one woman. They will nominate people who support them politically. Those nominees will represent whose interests in the selection of the members of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission of Kenya (IEBCK)? So, the IEBCK that we want to appoint will be compromised from the start. It is for this reason that I support this amendment which has been proposed by Mr. Kioni that the members of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) appoint or assist in the selection of the panel which will later on advertise and interview the members of the proposed IEBCK. I think it is a very good proposal. I am doing this with tremendous respect. I think it will also remove the confusion of bringing in a body like the Kenya Anti- Corruption Commission Advisory Board to it. If the members of that panel act corruptly, they will end up at the Kenya Anti- Corruption Commission (KACC). So we do not want to bring such an oversight body into the nominations. I think this is a very good proposal. We had not discussed it, but wisdom can come at any hour. It is a very wise and sound proposal. I would urge all my colleagues to support it. I second the amendment."
