Initially, we had four because of this good man who is seated here. However, if he has come as he is, then it means that he is satisfied with what has been explained and what has been done now. With those many remarks, I urge that we give the IEBC Selection Panel these extra 14 days that they are asking for. I hope they give us competent Kenyans, men and women of great character and quality, who can serve this nation in a great way."},{"id":1549623,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1549623/?format=json","text_counter":339,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Sen.

Members of political parties are looking forward to nominating people and participating in those campaigns. I have not done a campaign since 2022. You know we have campaigns coming up in two years. I may have forgotten how to address a crowd. I need to test my vocal cords somewhere either in Malava, which is in Sen. (Dr.) Boni Khalwale’s county. I will rely on his wisdom to tell me which candidate to support for our party, the UDA. Once we find that candidate, we meet and square it out with Sen. Sifuna. I am sure he will present a candidate, as much as I know his chances in Malava are very limited. That is what Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has informed me many times that, that is a corner of Kakamega that is completely yellow."},{"id":1549624,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1549624/?format=json","text_counter":340,"type":"scene","speaker_name":"","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"(Laughter)"},{"id":1549625,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1549625/?format=json","text_counter":341,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Sen.

You just caught me when I was correcting myself. You know I went to Malinya Primary School, where my headmaster, the late Andrew Makwaka Imbundu, was very keen on English. He made sure we spoke good English. That is why you saw me quickly run away from the word “respond” to “reply,” unlike my kid brother, Sen. Sifuna, who was at Kakamega Primary School. He cannot even remember the name of his teacher who taught him English. That is how Gen.

Regarding the challenges raised, I came in when the Senate Majority Leader was responding to them; they were purely administrative and no ill-intent. The point is made and I look forward to us having a good Chairperson of the IEBC. Nothing is greater. The history of chairing elections in this country is replete with all manner of challenges, and I hope that the people I saw being interviewed will be up to it.
