He has refused to follow your orders. He should be called to order because what he is saying is that there are fears. This is not a rumour milling station. This is the Senate of the Republic of Kenya. He should have used the word ‘allegedly.’ He should withdraw and replace it because he seems to understand English."

I was just about to say that we have a very big job ahead for the IEBC commissioners, because we need to relook at our electoral boundaries. We also need to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

"content": "see to it that those constituencies and wards that do not have representatives get the justice of being represented. The other thing that I may want to say about this particular list is, because we have had occasion of public servants being accused of having been incompetent, I would want to call upon the National Assembly, when they are vetting these nominees, to look at the competence of each one of them. We do not want to hear in this country that somebody who has been given a job, be it a presidential or any other nominee, is approved by the National Assembly, and later on is said to be incompetent. Consequently, if we will have any of these IEBC commissioners vetted by the National Assembly and later, we are told by whoever it will be, whether the president or anybody else, that they were incompetent, we must call the National Assembly and any other body that vets public officers to order. They must make sure that everybody is competent. This is because we bring shame to Kenyans when we give them a job, they are vetted at the National Assembly and proved to be fit ---"

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Mine is to briefly comment on the Statement for JLAHRC, and to congratulate the nation for moving to where we have reached. It is my hope that very soon the newly appointed members of the IEBC will be vetted and that they can begin their work right away. I would want to associate myself with the comments that it would have been fit and it should be fit for the Senate to be involved in the vetting of members of the IEBC. This is for the simple reason that the elections that the IEBC conducts includes elections that affect counties. Accordingly, the idea of reading one clause of a Constitution against another is an anomaly. I hope that we can move away from that even as we try to do amendments to the Constitution. We can regularise quite a number of these clauses that seem to lock out the Senate in a mandate that naturally involves them. Besides that, I hope that the National Assembly can be recalled for vetting very soon to clear that team, because the team has a lot of work to do for this country. I served in the Kriegler Commission and elections are not an event. Elections comprise a series of activities that do not take one, two or three days. It is an exercise that needs to take a lot into account. I hope that my former officer, Ethekon, who was picked as Chairperson and I can vouch for his competence, will hit the road running very fast and demonstrate to those who think he is incompetent that he is actually a competent officer and start working with the IEBC. He has a lot of work to do. I would say the team should get together quickly, retreat and identify the things that need to be done. There are many things to be done, including the registration of voters, delimitation of boundaries and correction of our voter register. As a country, we need to rally together, to ensure that in the next---"
