Mr. Speaker, Sir, after the elections of August 2017, all the lessons that were carried forward from the previous election had to be implemented at this time. The new Constitution that we gave ourselves contains the prescription that has been quoted over and over again; the mandate of the IEBC. That mandate is clear; to deliver free, fair and credible elections. For the IEBC to deliver free, fair and credible elections, there has to be a platform; there have to be rules to the game that would make it possible to deliver those"
