    "content": "Hon. Speaker, that is not really a point of order, but Hon. Baiya is my friend. He may wish to help me ask the Leader of the Majority Party to table that list requested by Hon. (Eng.) Gumbo then you will see that I am in order. Only two weeks ago, Hon. Baiya was sitting here when we appointed members of the Competition Authority. In those appointments, you would see that there is a lady married in Taita bearing a Taita name. There is nothing wrong with it, but when you put the name Wairimu as W, you are not helping the tenets of this Constitution of fairness. What are you telling us? When you tell Hon. Mwadhegu that she is yours just because she is married in his area, you end up with people from the same tribes. If you look at the compositions of the lists, it is two tribes. That so called PSC in its thinking, composition and mandate, something is amiss. So what we are saying is that this one belongs to the Floor. This one belongs to us and because of the dangers paused by the results of elections, I think it is in order that when we are making this Selection Panel, we are very clear that nobody has a window where they can disadvantage the other. We do not trust each other; accept that and then we deal with it. We do not have to love each other but we have to set the modus operandi. Where we have to live together as Kenyans, this is what Kenyans will have to do going forward as opposed to cheating each other. Hon. Chepkong’a and Hon. Duale this afternoon told me that we do this thing clinically, so that when we lose, and they used the word “when”, then we accept. That is what we are asking for. We are looking for an opportunity where one side does not cry foul if it unfairly loses and the loophole used is known. Let us seal all the loopholes. It remains to be seen that the number of registered voters in Kenya is over 14 million. The numbers of Jubilee are less than 5 million. Since when did 5 million people defeat over 9 million people if it not for theft? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
