    "content": "Nowhere in the world have we been humiliated more than by the IEBC. The Chairman of the defunct Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK) once said that he had no idea who had won the elections. We are treated as a joke abroad. This same IEBC that we are trying to regulate and sort out has been involved in a lot of corruption in the chicken gate scandal and yet, we have forgotten why that happened. Those who bribed in Britain went to jail and came out after seven or five years. But ours are still sitting around and going from one court case to the other. We have the IEBC as a very bad name. As I said, the proposals that have been put forward now are short term solutions to long term problems. I was looking at India the other day. One billion people voted, but I have not yet heard any problems in respect of their electoral commission like we had here. Our IEBC is politically motivated, financially controlled and manipulated by every single politician who feels that he has the quality to do that."
