There was definition of responsibility that was made in the Kriegler Report. This was very clear. When Kenyans felt that the IEBC was not giving the service that was required and there were issues, it was recommended that we form a secretariat and a commission at that time. The enactment of the IEBC Act gave a definitive role for both commissioners and the secretariat. It was very clear that the commissioners were to provide certain overall formulation of policies and guidelines, but the day-to-day activities of IEBC are within the domain of the Secretariat. Therefore, it is very clear that ...

On the issue of the tendering process, it is guided as indicated in the Act. It is very clear that it is supposed to be done by none other than the Secretariat.

Thank you. The ruling in terms of expunging the commissioners and the wisdom of the Speaker as far as the ruling is concerned is, indeed, supported. I support the expunging of the names of the commissioners in this regard. Further to that, the PAC Report should rather not have been used to incriminate and remove the commissioners from office.
