    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise on a point of order touching on the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. If you indulge me just for one minute, I will prosecute my matter. My issue is that in a matter of five days, this process is starting and essentially, the journey to 2017 will start in earnest. Elections are such an important matter that the way it is managed right from the time of registration is critical. I expect that you guide us on this matter. If it is possible, the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs could be directed to make a Statement before the House on this matter. If, for instance, we start this process without the preparedness that is necessary, are we in effect trying to set ground for malpractices or for rigging of elections? If we do not get this thing right from the very beginning, we shall be starting a journey which will lead this country to doom. Therefore, I want you to guide us or make a directive through the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs that the IEBC Chairperson appears before this House. In fact, he should come to the plenary and make a categorical statement whether they are prepared or not. If they are not prepared, the country should know. If they want money, let this House make an attempt to avail the money at the very first instance before that exercise commences."
