    "content": "will be ruled through coalition parties. This Select Committee should also look at those issues. Let political parties be funded adequately, so that they can articulate their issues. Democracy will spread to all corners of the country as parties educate their members on the best way to do politics and maintain peace. There was an article in the newspaper today by Dr. David Ndii which stated that Kenya is in a cruel marriage and that it was time to divorce. Listen to the substance of the matter. The Committee should be wise enough, so that commissioners who are appointed to the IEBC after this IEBC are impartial and people who can unite Kenyans by being fair, transparent and not rigging elections in favour of one side. They should be people who can stand the test of time. Kenya is a great country. I hope the Members have realised the number of presidents and important dignitaries who have visited Kenya. Even today, the Prime Minister of Israel is in the country. Unless we spoil it, this is a country which is very important in the world economy. I am appealing to politicians and legislators to see that the biggest problem in this country, which has caused conflicts, has been leaders who use their mouths to spit venom and talk ill of others. In the process, they cause conflict. Kenyans should never at any other time elect such leaders. It does not matter whether one is your tribesman or kinsman or is from your region, the best thing is to elect leaders who can unite Kenyans and speak peace. These should be leaders who will unite and not divide our people for selfish gain. The Kenya’s minerals, sunshine, brilliant minds and very established private sector should be safe. As leaders, let us make sure that we do not spoil this country. Let us make it better by appointing a good electoral team that will not favour one side. If we are defeated, we will accept and if the other side is defeated, they should accept. With those few remarks, I second."
