    "content": "The centre of gravity of the entire Report starts and ends with removal of commissioners. All these other reports which are in the middle about procurement and other things are immaterial. Their target which is the centre of gravity is the ultimate removal of commissioners, which is not in their mandate. Why is PAC talking about that issue while the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs oversees IEBC? Does it mean that if IEBC commissioners have failed to do their oversight role, they are culpable and should vacate office? The same can be said of Members of Parliament. We are supposed to oversee the Executive. We can see a lot of runaway corruption in ministries. Do we, as Members of Parliament, vacate office because we do not do our oversight role? You cannot vacate office because you have not done your role. The PAC’s mandate is not removal of IEBC commissioners but to look at accounting and monetary issues."
