    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Before I conclude, I had been challenged by the Chair, after a point of order by the Senator for Garissa. I had called the Chairman of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) a thief and I was supposed to substantiate. I want to substantiate that, indeed, the IEBC Chairman, Mr. Issack Hassan, is not a man of integrity. I have only three points to confirm that. First, I want to table before this House a report of the findings of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the National Assembly of Kenya that was tabled on 23rd March, 2016, in which various findings have been made. I do not wish to highlight them, but they just confirm what I said. The second point that I want to use to assert my allegation is that the same Chairman is being investigated by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). In fact, he has recorded a statement in respect of loss of public funds. Finally, I want to speak to the stolen election. Two bullets in the findings of the PAC Report indicate that Chairman Issack Hassan was an accomplice in the stealing of the election of 2013. This is under Part 4, bullet 6.0, on page 86 of the report – culpability. If you may just allow me to highlight two points, the reports says that Mr. Ahmed Issack Hassan, the Chairman of IEBC is directly responsible for involvement in the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
