    "content": "of Kenya (ECK) said on TV. He said on camera that he did not know where his Returning Officers were. He said on TV that something was being cooked. Mr. Chebukati comes from Chris Wamalwa‟s place. Chris Wamalwa was vehemently supporting Chebukati. We have no problem with that. In my community we say, you cannot be bitten by a snake from the same hole. That is the reason why we are very jittery because we remember what the late Kivuitu said live on TV. We want Chebukati and his team to develop teamwork. As I conclude, I know the job we are giving them is a serious one. A time will come when the lives of the 40 million Kenyans will be in the hands of the Chair of the IEBC. He must be a man of God and must have the courage. He must be firm, committed and very decisive in whatever decision he wants to take. He must build teamwork. Finally, I am sure that the leadership of Mr. Ezra Chiloba and his secretariat will work very well with the Commission. At the end of the day, all of us sitting here will be happy because the job that we do is politics. That is how we pay our bills. People wonder why Hon. Duale speaks a lot. I speak a lot because that is how I pay my Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) bill, water bill and school fees. That is true among all of us here. We are all requesting Mr. Chebukati to make the rules of the game, fair. Do not rig Hon. Jakoyo or Hon. Duale. As Hon. Farah said, I am shocked that people can vote till the following day. We, the political class, will do a lot if we support the secretariat. We work together as stakeholders and I am sure if they get the support of everybody, the National Treasury must provide the necessary resources for the IEBC to deliver a credible election. The national security agencies must also be impartial to support the Commission for a peaceful election. The donor community must support that kitty so that come 8th August, 2017, Kenyans will go to the polls and a credible free, fair and peaceful election results will be announced. I beg to support."
