    "content": "We cannot jump and talk about transmission before we have looked at the importance of whether the people turned up to vote or did not vote. We cannot be talking everyday about an issue which we all know that the same IEBC that is being bashed left, right and centre is the same which was in charge of the elections which brought us here. It does not make sense for people to pretend that it is okay for us to be here, but it is not okay for other people who were elected through the same means not be in office. As much annoyed as we are, because we feel it was very unfair, we have decided that we will respect the rule of law. An election has been set on 26th October, but we are giving excuses everyday pretending that if we do not get this, we will not do this. Hon. Deputy Speaker, in the 11th Parliament, I was a Member of the Joint Select Committee that brought about electoral reforms including the new commission. Before the current IEBC started work, people had already started talking about rigging and all manner of things. Today, we are being treated to that charade again. Unfortunately, our Judiciary has been sucked in. All the same, after they made that decision, we respected it and we are going for a repeat election. I heard my brother Hon. Junet say that there will be no repeat election in this The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
