    "content": "I want to thank the President for calling upon Kenyans to give space to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to operate as an independent body. We want this year’s elections to be the most peaceful, fair and avoid anything which can bring conflict in this country. We have other arms of the Government which interfere like the Judiciary which has delayed the tender issue. Up to now, the tender has not been awarded and the IEBC is suffering. I do not think the IEBC will meet its target as per the given timetable. I want to tell the courts that as they delay in giving justice to the IEBC, other processes are also being delayed. I thank the IEBC for refusing to hold Jubilee party primary nominations. We want them to be independent and handle the general elections. It should not be associated with other failures. I also commend the President for his commitment to champion devolution. Turkana County is one of its beneficiaries and we want him to continue supporting devolution. Finally, I want to appeal to the President that if he wants the votes in Turkana County, he should not sign the Bill. He should let the percentage given to the county and community where the oil is to remain. If he does that, Turkana County will give him votes. Thank you."
