    "content": "That was a claim which was contained in the affidavit of Senator Janet Ong‘era, who is currently a nominated Senator for the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM). She swore the affidavit in support of the Presidential Petition filed at the Supreme Court after the presidential elections. We noted that the court merely cited without making any conclusion at all. It was merely quoted as an item that was stated by Senator Ong‘era with regard to what she may have observed. The court was non-committal at all as to whether what was stated was true or not. We put the question to her. We asked her whether they had an unfair advantage at the tallying centre, in response to which she said all the agents that had been nominated by their respective parties were allowed at the tallying centre, and that they were at the tallying centres as nominees of the parties that they were representing. Senator Ong‘era was also a nominee representing a party and she equally had access to the tallying centre. She said that there was no complaint that was reported to the IEBC that they had unfair access to the tallying centre. We wanted to know her view on the relationship between the Judiciary, the Executive and the Legislature. I know that hon. Ng‘ongo would like to contribute. I am in the process of concluding. On the observations and findings of the Committee, we noted that Mr. Bett had the necessary qualifications and competence. Equally, we also noted that Mrs. Guchu was also qualified to be appointed, in accordance with the Judicial Service Act. I will read the general observations which were of concern.
