Now I have even lost what I was saying. Allow me, however, to say that we need this Commission as soon as we can to allow it to get down to work. In closing, I was saying that in two years, we will have a general election. That is time- bound, and we must have a general election. Therefore, we must work within the timeline that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

We shame the hate mongers, who have been threatening us that in 2027, there will be more bloodshed than in 2007. Those war mongers, those bloodthirsty leaders or so-called leaders, who do not deserve to be leaders if they can imagine that the 2007 Post-Election Violence was a Christmas party. We must shame them today by approving these names, having a Commission in place and having credible elections in 2027. I am certain we will beat them based on a pro-people agenda. An agenda that is transforming lives across the country as they move around the country spreading hatred, inciting Kenyans, showing a lot of bitterness and imagining that Kenya will go into the abyss because of their anger and hatred for other Kenyans. With that, I beg to support."},{"id":1618805,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1618805/?format=json","text_counter":232,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.

I know many of them would have also loved to say something about either all the nominated Commissioners or a few of them. Hon. Farah was raring to say something, but we had spoken for him. My Vice-Chairman here, Hon. Mwengi Mutuse, was gearing to make a valuable contribution, and everybody else. Thank you so much for this. To the IEBC Commissioners, we will approve your nominations this afternoon, but Kenyans are watching. They are saying if you do not have the spine to conduct elections, start growing one now. We have to have a fair, just, credible, verifiable election that every Kenyan is going to be satisfied with. Those of us who may differ with those who are supporting, please, do not make any threats to the country. We have our Constitution. We have our laws and we have institutions which we must have faith in. I know for sure there are trust issues with the IEBC. It is high time these seven commissioners now grew the trust so that Kenyans can believe in this institution, which is very important for the country, known as the IEBC. Thank you so much. With those remarks, I beg to reply."},{"id":1618809,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1618809/?format=json","text_counter":236,"type":"scene","speaker_name":"","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"(Several Members stood in the gangways)"},{"id":1618810,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1618810/?format=json","text_counter":237,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.
