    "content": "Hon. Speaker, unfortunately, I do not have the material that the Petitioner and, of course, other Kenyans sent to the National Assembly. I wanted to confirm that IEBC, as we stand today, has issued about four Reports on results of elections. One is on their website; the other is on presidential votes, the Political Parties Fund - A report was requested and it came to the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee. The last one was presented to the Supreme Court. We may say all we need, but I invite hon. Members of this House to take time and consider these reports. You will find that they are all different. What does that say about IEBC? It means for every specific purpose, there was a specific report being given. I do not know how we would term that if it is not callousness or gross misconduct. We did not want Commissioners removed from office, but we wanted a tribunal to be constituted so that these issues can be interrogated. Why are we having results which are not valid in reports? It does not just speak to gross violation of the Constitution, but it speaks, fundamentally, to the competence or otherwise of those Commissioners. In terms of the presidential tally, I wanted to tell Members that I am one person who said that we detach ourselves from those individuals."
