    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in light of that Motion, I will be very brief and conclude. Given what is in the public domain and has actually been proven by court decisions in the United Kingdom (UK) and the Auditor- General’s report and volumes of writings that scholars have done on the IEBC, I hope the Committee will do its work expeditiously when it comes to Mandate No.8 (a)(b). Kenyans do not want to see anyone of those commissioners and the culpable people in the secretariat back in office. This would be an exercise in futility if that happens. Finally, I hope that the Committee will use the resources from the experts to quickly do a comparative review of electoral processes and look at various jurisdictions how electoral commissions are established, how they function, how they deal with issues of ethical responsibility and accountability, how results are announced, who announces results, what forms the context of final results so that in fulfilling mandate No.(c) in terms of an impartial, efficient, simple, accurate, verifiable, secure, accountable and transparent manner, we are not reinventing the wheel. Such efficient and verifiable mechanisms exist in other jurisdictions. By a quick look at comparative review of such things, we will be able to have a very good report that we can adopt so that in the year 2017, for the second time in the history since 1963, we shall have another free and fair elections in the Republic of Kenya in addition to the one we had in the year 2002. I beg to support."
