    "content": "Both Houses have adopted the report of the committee. But, there were regulations and timelines which were gazetted by the two presiding officers. They had serious timelines on when to do the nomination, when to do the elections, and when the committee was to do the vetting. So, I remember the last day for the election was 25th May 2017 and the nomination has passed. I am wondering what the two presiding officers are doing in County Hall. It is an illegal activity because until and unless a new gazettement is done with new regulations, I do not see what the two presiding officers are receiving. They cannot receive nomination from different people now. So, we need guidance. Second, as per the gazetted regulations, 2nd June 2017 was the last day when you and your colleague the Speaker of the Senate were supposed to submit the names to the EALA. That did not happen. Today is the 6th of June. I need your guidance. Our two presiding officers, if at all they are at County Hall receiving nominations, are doing what is called electoral fraud, an illegality. That is an election fraud because there are Kenyans who presented nomination papers. If there are Kenyans whose papers are coming now, I am sure there should be a gazette notice. I need that guidance because 2nd of June, as per that regulation which is gazetted and I have it, was the last day. It is now the 6th of June. If parties want to comply with the report of the committee, I have no problem but, I think the two presiding officers need to consult the House and do a new timetable for this process to take place. They cannot just do kangaroo nominations somewhere. This is a country where we want to do things in a right way."
