    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in appreciating the efforts of the Joint Select Committee of Parliament that prepared a Report worth mentioning and recognizing. I applaud the manner in which they conducted the business, particularly the bi-partisan approach with which they handled these matters that had a lot of divergent views. They carried the country together. They carried both Houses and the leadership from both sides together. It is a very good effort. The history of IEBC in this country has not been very good, honestly. The Kivuitu-led commission was sent home and now another one is about to be sent home. I recognize the legal, institutional and policy recommendations suggested by the Joint Select Committee. In fact, it is important to build sound institutions. Individuals come and go, but institutions that are built firmly on sound principles normally last. I would encourage that beyond picking individuals to serve as commissioners, our country, leadership and legal minds must set up sound systems that will move us forward in the years to come. Finally, I thank the top political leadership in this country for the commitment they showed towards restoring peace and order and creating harmony amongst the various communities in this country. Kenya is not a small country; it is a country that has many tribes."
