    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. Like my colleagues, I would like to commend the Committee for what they have done. The IEBC is a very important component of our democracy. More than that, it is actually pacifying factor. It is a pacifying and unifying organisation, as I might call it. It is actually an umpire. If a mistake is made by the said IEBC, of course the country will burn. We have had experiences before. The history of this country is well known. What happened in 1992, 1997 and 2007/2008 which was averted in 2013 is something that we do not want to be repeated in this country. We should as Kenyans realise that this country is ours. It is a country for all of us. It is a country that must be protected for our children. We saw what happened in the Rift valley, Naivasha and in other places where children were burnt, where women were molested and properties destroyed. That is one thing that we will not want repeated. In fact, it is the duty of the incoming commissioners to ensure that Kenya becomes one once more. That can only be achieved if there is justice in their job and election. The moment you show that there in injustice, the moment you use offices to marshal other Kenyans, there will be no peace and nobody can be blamed but the forces that are behind that. Some things must be said. Silence is not going to be an option and we know it very well. It is actually in the political domain. It is in the public domain that the right person, the person who should be chairman is somebody called Tukero ole The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
