"content": "It means that if this Bill is submitted to the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC), then we are saying that the resolutions of the political parties, the Cabinet and Cabinet Sub-Committees would be overwhelming. There is supremacy of the dialogue of the National Assembly as embodied by the principles and spirit of the new Constitution. Shame to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs; and shame to the leaders of political parties that nominate Members to that Committee; Members who continue to show brinkmanship and political contests that are creating deceptions in a new dawn. We are renewing and recreating the politics of Guisilinks, Philistines, fraudsters and other hostages of political myopia. The integrity of Members of this Commission will also need, as the Minister brings the rules for elections as it is required by the new Constitution--- That is because this Bill does not highlight the rules. The rules need to be highlighted much more than a statement about adherence and agreeing with Chapter 6 of the Constitution. We must create a serious radical paradigm shift that will enable the Kenyan people to tell those guys who are running to say they wanted to be elected as County Assembly Members, Governors, Senators and Members of Parliament that, if you have stolen and appeared in a Parliamentary Report, or the Auditor-Generalâs Reports or you are under investigation by Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC), your integrity is in question. You should not attempt or even dream of ever holding an important office in this country. I strongly support this Bill."
