    "content": "Finally, on commissions, when we were debating the Budget before we talked of the Appropriation Bill, I talked a lot about the need to streamline our commissions, make them lean and efficient, but a lot of money has been given to them from D1252. Let me talk about D2031, which talks about the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). The Motion has been turned down on regulations to operationalise the Elections Act, but the IEBC, in the new Act, knows that every polling station needs to have not more than 700 voters. They have been given a budget and it is high time they operationalised it. We saw the IEBC registering over 3 million voters, but they have not come up with new polling stations. Right now, we should be having new polling stations. Since they have been given a budget of Kshs45 million, it is good for the IEBC to operationalise that Act and ensure that every polling station does not have more than 700 voters. Therefore, they should create several streams or independent polling stations. With those few remarks, I beg to second."
