(Dr.) David Eseli Simiyu Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a very important Motion. It is a culmination of protracted political discussions involving the highest level of political leadership in our country during the past few months. In particular, issues have been raised with regard to the acceptability and the legitimacy of the IEBC in the eyes of some sections of the Kenyan society. Given that IEBC plays an important role in advancing our democracy and considering further that the IEBC, as a referee in elections, should be acceptable to the vast majority of the people of Kenya, it has been decided by the leadership on the Government side and the opposition, that it is important to inquire whether or not there exist a basis for removing from office the IEBC commissioners or changing the secretariat.
