    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be brief. I will begin from the point that Sen. Wako made. It is unfortunate that we did not agree a year ago. We did not agree because politics is about struggle and interests. Those who have been interested are those who want to rig elections in this country so as to stay in power. Therefore, what we need in this country, notwithstanding that we have a good law, is a political culture that respects trust, fairness and dedication to public duty. As it has happened since independence for the purposes of “tenderpreneurship” and the reaping off of the State, this law will remain good on paper but not in practice. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the IEBC for having been intransigent. It is because they were intransigent that we went to the streets to force them out. It is because they were intransigent that the Government also thought that it was good to defend the IEBC."
