    "content": "I would like to talk about the Electronic Voter Identification Devices (EVIDs) and BVR gadgets. Before you vote, they are supposed to check electronic verification kits. This is the time they verify whether you are registered or not. We are telling the IEBC that we will not entertain any mistakes. If you go to vote, the EVID must verify whether you are registered or not. The commissioners who are willing to step aside should do so, so that we do not waste Kenyans’ time. I know Kenyans are willing to pay these commissioners if the issue is money. We must have an objective process of selecting new commissioners who must exercise objectivity. We do not want nepotism and tribalism. The Joint Select Committee should look at the Supreme Court laws. Presidential petitions can only be done through the Supreme Court. We should increase the time of filing a petition from 14 to 21 or 30 days, so that we do not have anarchy when people have evidence to bring on board and they are told there is no time. The Committee should not just concentrate on the IEBC Act, but must look at the Registration of Persons Act, the Elections Act and the Political Parties Act. We are ready to amend all the laws that touch on the electoral process."
