    "content": "I support the 30 days the Select Committee has been granted taking into account that the next elections will be held exactly in 13 months’ time on Friday this week. There are issues to be addressed. A Member has said that a Committee is addressing a petition, but a petition had already been given to that Committee yet it never dealt with it. It is the same Committee which is now purporting to be dealing with another petition. It did not deal with Mr. Wafula Buke‘s petition. The issues are the same. So, this House cannot attempt to do everything away from the provisions of the Constitution. I have been in this House for nearly 15 years and I have seen many Select Committees. This is to give us a window and we have our brothers in the Senate. As Parliament, we must deal with the IEBC issue. I know the blood of Kenyans has been spilt. May be Parliament is now composed of many young people who were not there over the years when people kept dying. If you remember how we have got here, it has always been punctuated by the blood of our people. It should never be again. Never again should we have a country which is in danger of spilling blood when politicians want to, especially when it is to do with elections."
