    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, in fact, I brought this question to the Floor because of my superior knowledge in the matter and some things that I may not wish to say here. I did ask the distinguished Senator for Nandi, in execution of its mandate, whether there is any document, communication or evidence that the IEBC requested the Executive to assist it to set up these consulates, so that they can be polling centres. There is none. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have done better than lawyers in this Chamber, by the way, and I dare say this. The point of contention is Article 249(2)(b) of the Constitution which says that the IEBC shall act in its duties without the control and direction of any person or authority. Here we are told that the Cabinet directed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Attorney General and the IEBC. This is a violation of the Constitution. We can pontificate on anything else."
