    "content": "declared in Kenya by the IEBC at the national tallying centre in Bomas of Kenya or the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) after a seven-day period are merely provisional. By these proposals, we are saying that the results, as shall be declared by the Constituency Returning Officers, will be treated not as provisional results but as final results, which everybody can move by. So, there are fundamental departures. Let me say, as a lawyer that I have a fundamental problem with the proposals being made about how we are to compose the new commission and the process of going through it. The idea that you will give the President, who is also a political player, a list of 11 nominees to pick seven people from is a challenge. However, I am saying that if we incorporate technology and make it a mandatory process of the electoral process, nobody will care about who the electoral commissioner is. I thank the current commissioners of the IEBC for agreeing to go. Of course, they overdelayed. Let me end by joining the people who said that if any of them breached the law, we are negotiating their vacation and not their immunity for any wrong they would have committed. May all our agencies do whatever they want to do. We will give them money to vacate office. We thank them for agreeing to go because time was short to investigate those issues but they ought to have put the nation first. It is belated but they have done it. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to allow other Hon. Members to speak."
