    "content": "biometrics. We need the new commissioners coming in to look into that situation. In my constituency yesterday, people who were born in 1995 and 1996 cannot register as voters. We need the IEBC secretariat together with the commissioners who will come in, if there is a problem like that, they need to give us more time. They need to extend the time from February 14th so that we can register as many people as we can. Meru County has got over 480,000 who are not registered, so we want more time. Hopefully, when the new commissioners are sworn in, we can have more time. It is good that we have this new commission, not that the old commission was bad. There was nothing wrong with the old commission. It is just that people wanted to hound them out. Let us hope this time we can all wholeheartedly accept this new commission. I believe if we can work with them, we will have free and fair elections. We have just passed Archbishop Wabukala as Chair of EACC. I hope he can get down to work because at the end of the day when we go for elections, we will have people who will be going to IEBC with certificates from EACC. I wish when the Archbishop comes in he can streamline because we are told there are some people who have given bribes. It is alleged an aspirant from our area has given a bribe of over Kshs40 million to be cleared so that he can run in the elections. So, I am hoping and praying that when the IEBC‟s new nominees come in, they will check on these requirements and make sure that the people who are on the list of shame are nowhere near our ballot box. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to support."
