    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other element noted by this Commission and which you will find when you study other electoral management systems in the world, is that the Kriegler Report noted, and I quote:- “Structural weaknesses in the relationship between the Commissioners and the Secretariat in terms of the delineation of roles, bureaucratic procedures and an unwieldy committed structure. This hampered smooth operation for elections and interfered with staff selection, recruitment, training and deployment.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Kriegler Commission also found out that while the ECK Secretariat evolved considerably between 1998 and 2007, there were conflict of roles between the Commissioners and staff leading to fundamental ineffectiveness."
