    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand under Standing Order No.96 to request that we postpone discussion on this Bill. This is a very emotive matter. I request my friend, the Leader of the Majority Party, to listen to me. We are discussing a matter that touches on the election management in this country. I am a person who has stood on the Floor of this House, in many occasions, to express my love for my country. Even as I do that, we have had experiences. I am aware that there is nothing that threatens the nationhood of this country than an improperly constituted election management agency. This matter requires a bipartisan approach. Only a while ago, I stood up to request that there is a Special Audit Report from my Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on the IEBC which should be given priority and be brought here for discussion. None other than the Leader of the Majority Party told me, on the Floor of this House and he is on record, that we want all matters touching on the IEBC to be put on abeyance."
