    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want, first of all, to thank Members for their contributions. There are those who supported and there are those who opposed. That is in order. This is a House of debate and the House will finally have the last say. Certain issues have been raised. Allow me to respond to about two or three. One is the fact that there are other proposals with the CIOC and in Hon. Jude Njomo’s Bill and many others. That is in order. This Bill before the House went through the normal process and so, it cannot be stopped just because there are other proposals in other proposed amendments. Therefore, this Bill is rightly before the House. It has gone through public participation. We got views from the public which informed the decision of the Committee. I think there is a big concern and fear, listening to Members that we are dealing with the commissioners of IEBC. We are merely dealing with the selection panel to shortlist and interview potential commissioners. That is the function we are dealing with here. The qualifications of the commissioners will be decided by the selection panel. So, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply."
