    "content": "processes so as to ensure that the August 2017 elections are free and fair and are administered in an impartial, efficient, simple, accurate, verifiable, secure, accountable and transparent manner; and, (d) On the basis of the findings and recommendations in (a), (b) and (c) prepare a report and a draft Bill or draft Bills. This is the crux of the matter. This is all that we sent that Committee to go and do. We never sent them to go and do other things. So, that is the window that we must use so that we arrive at what Hon. Olago has done but we also save the Report. That is how it is done. You cannot send somebody for milk and they bring you sugar on top and you only gave them money for milk and they expect you to take the sugar. This is where the problem is. So, use Standing Order 1 to adjourn this debate, so that we go and look at this Report and take out the ultra vires issues which the Committee may have delved into but which we never sent them to consider. What we sent them for is in this Report. Some of the other political issues they delved into are, in my own view, unconstitutional. We can come back here using your orders. Let us look at this Report till tomorrow morning and come and pass it. The country is waiting for us. I want to plead with you; Standing Order No.1 allows you to do all this. Nothing has been done wrong that we cannot correct. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
