    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it was established that the Chairperson of the IEBC, Mr. Wafula Chebukati, despite being a founding partner of a specific law firm - even though by the time he was coming to the Commission as Chairperson, he had purportedly resigned from that law firm - did not make any effort to declare either to his fellow commissioners or the Secretariat of the IEBC that he had dealings with this law firm before he joined the IEBC. Therefore, the Commission went ahead - I am not saying under his direction, because there is no evidence to that effect that he influenced the award of contract to this law firm, and awarded this law firm a number of contracts to represent it and act on his behalf in court. In the end, that law firm was paid not less than Kshs30million without Mr. Chebukati declaring in any form and in any meeting, to any person that he had dealings with this law firm prior to his joining the IEBC."
