    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, let me comment on the issue and procedure of the appointment of the commissioners to this Commission. If you read the First Schedule on the procedure for the appointment of the Chairperson and the Members of the Commission, you will realise that it does not capture the fact that this country is a tribal country and this Bill must recognize that. When we require the selection panel to call in people for interviews, at the end of the day, very many regions and communities may be left out. I want to believe that we want to have a fair election next year. We want to have an election through which we can believe in the results considering the fact that we fought in 2007 immediately after the elections just for one reason that we did not believe the results. For us to believe these results, we must seem to take everybody on board. The appointment of these commissioners should take into consideration the regional balance and community interest. This Bill should even go further, for example, and tell us that when we have nine commissioners, like we have in this proposition, it means two are from Rift Valley Province. This Bill should go to that extent. When there are nine Commissioners, we should have one from each province, with two from Rift Valley Province. If we do that, we shall not see the problems that we saw---"
