    "content": "There was definition of responsibility that was made in the Kriegler Report. This was very clear. When Kenyans felt that the IEBC was not giving the service that was required and there were issues, it was recommended that we form a secretariat and a commission at that time. The enactment of the IEBC Act gave a definitive role for both commissioners and the secretariat. It was very clear that the commissioners were to provide certain overall formulation of policies and guidelines, but the day-to-day activities of IEBC are within the domain of the Secretariat. Therefore, it is very clear that it was not in order for PAC to insinuate or make the mishandling of the procurement process the responsibility of the commissioners, so that they can be removed from office. If, indeed, certain actions were supposed to be enumerated, it should have been done by the Secretariat, and Mr. Chiloba should have been held responsible. So, it is ill advised as far as this Report is concerned to incriminate commissioners who are not involved in the day-to-day running of the Commission."
