    "content": "Secondly, if you want to indict the Commission, the procedure is well documented. Where I had a problem is if we indict the commissioners through this Report unapproved, there was no way this House could have dealt with a petition to remove them. There must be separation of jurisdiction. You cannot be the prosecutor and the judge. The Committee has done a number of things that will help us reform our electoral system. The Committee observed that there were instants of outright conflict in the functions of the CEO. The CEO’s functions are well documented in the IEBC Act, and Hon. TJ and the legal officers in committees know that. Mr. Chiloba cannot use Mr.Chebukati and the two other guys as suicide bombers. He cannot tie them together. He should carry his cross. I note in the Report that this problem arose due to the manner in which the IEBC Act is couched in particular on the functions of the CEO. If there is a grey area, the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs should look at that Act and make a clear determination between the function of the CEO and that of the Commission. Part of the reforms we are going to introduce."
