Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute. I want to thank the PAC for the wonderful Report they have done for this House. I am a Member of the Committee. However, I want to remind the Leader of the Majority Party that a Commission consist of commissioners and the Secretariat. You cannot separate them. They are jointed at the hip and are full time. You remember when the EACC took some people to court and there were no commissioners in place, all the cases were dismissed because the Commission was not fully constituted. There ...

That is a Commission that threw out of the window all provisions of the law including the Constitution. Why should we be the ones who are holding the most expensive elections in the continent of Africa and in the world? Elections in Kenya cost US$7 per voter. Why should an election cost me that much?

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am contributing, but you know he was a member of the armed forces and retired at the level of Colonel. He does not know that I am the Chief Whip and I am also a leader here and the Colonel rank remained in the barracks.

This matter is very serious.

I know he is protecting his cousin who is a member of the IEBC. So, he does not want me to oppose this. Let him not waste my time.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support this Motion. I will not belabour the point that Prof. Magoha is qualified for the job that he has been given. He has the experience, knowledge and the requisite needed to perform that job. I cannot dwell on the credentials of Prof. Magoha. If this House in its own wisdom could pass the nomination of Echesa as a Cabinet Secretary, we should spend very little time discussing Prof. Magoha. If Echesa went through with only a birth certificate, the rest is just---
