    "content": "I want to assure you on behalf of CORD that what we want is a reformed IEBC. We are not using this process to look for your notorious nusu mkate, to enter Government. We do not want to enter Government, we want to be Government. We are not using this process to change the electoral date because it is set in the Constitution and I agree with you, my brother. Our elections will be August next year. Anybody who wants to change the date may bring it forward, not any further. With all these few remarks, I wish to second the Motion and urge ourselves to pass it. I urge Sen. Orengo, my brother and Sen. Murungi who enjoy our absolute confidence and trust that we expect nothing less from them but a good outcome from this protracted process. Let not the lives of those people in Kisumu, Migori, Siaya and elsewhere, the young man in a green T-shirt who was trampled on by a well-built, well- fed policeman on the streets of Nairobi University way, young Morogo from Meru who was struck on the head by a truncheon from a policeman and slept in Nairobi hospital for 20 days, and all who inhaled teargas not to have done so in vain. Let it be a moment that brings us to a level of sanity and acceptability in elections. I encourage Commissioner, Hassan the Chairman of IEBC and his team that sometimes throwing in the towel is a tact and not cowardice. If they want to help this country, they may have to reconsider their position as we move into this process. It will make it easier for everybody so that we now grapple not about how to send them home, but how to replace them. I beg to second."
