    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is another element that was observed by the Kriegler Commission. They noted that the stakeholders were recommending a form of staggered appointments of the commissioners. This would ensure that the tenure of the commissioners do not lapse all at once or during the election year. I do not need to remind this beautiful country that eight Commissioners retired in 2007 during an election year under the former Kivuitu Commission. You will find that under Clauses 7(4) and 7(5). We have recommended to this honourable House and the entire country that we find a formula for staggering the appointment of those commissioners. For heaven’s sake, my dear country, let us stagger those appointments so that the commissioners will not all retire at once, all of them or a substantial number during an election year. If you are dissatisfied with Clauses 7(4) or 7(5), please, honourable Members, you are welcome to tackle the problem and give us recommendations."
