    "content": "Religious people are major stakeholders in terms of peace building and keeping the momentum of elections in this nation. As Parliament, we ought to completely take charge of the selection process of the IEBC Commissioners. Why do I say so? We have seen what the past looked like. We come in and say that we have white smoke. This is where we have been, even in terms of the EACC in the big fight against corruption. This is a big issue for the progress of this nation. But how was it sorted out? The minute we had Wabukala as Chair and we have since transited to the new CEO, we are seeing waters which are coming, although nobody is saying that this is a fight which must be fought. Coming to elections, political parties are major stakeholders. Why are we not involving them and yet political parties can come up with names to represent them, like it happened in 1997 during the Inter-Parties Parliamentary Group initiative?"
