Sen. Sifuna is sabotaging the partnership between ODM and UDA. He should go on record as such.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to support this Procedural Motion. However, I was disappointed by the Selection Panel. I expected serious questions on integrity, but members of the IEBC Selection Panel are underwhelming because they have been asking kindergarten and pedestrian questions.

For example, in Nandi, I have the biggest ward called Kilibwoni, which we would want to review. However, we have a number of protected constituencies that do not meet the criteria. Secondly, there are so many by-elections, including Magarini, Banisa, Baringo County and Malava. If hon. Ruku succeeds to be the Cabinet Secretary for Public Service we will need a by-election in Mbeere North Constituency. We need the IEBC to be in place to conduct by-elections.
