    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, Section 41 (b) (8) provides that the Commission, in exercising its functions under Section 41 (c), shall not be subject to the direction or control of any other person or authority. The Commission is, therefore, independent and not subject to direction or control from any quarter. Mr. Speaker, Sir, since its establishment, the Commission has operated independently. In fact, at one point the Commission refused to respond to the Parliamentary Committee on Constitutional Review when it invited them to present their views in Naivasha citing its independence. The Commission has also continued to assert its independence whenever it has interacted with the Ministry. As a Ministry responsible in Government for elections, political parties and constitutional affairs, my Minister continued to support the operations of the Commission and has not, in any way, interfered with its operations."
