    "content": "Political parties have issues. We must bring in this Bill a proper procedure for use by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and Political Parties Registrar to enforce fair nomination of candidates within political parties. If political parties conduct free, fair and peaceful nominations, those small parties waiting for the day ODM, URP, TNA and many other parties will be doing their nominations, will not be there. They wait in the corridors. Their offices are somewhere along Moi Avenue or Tom Mboya Street. They wait somewhere and cash in. That is why there is no party discipline in this country. In our coalitions, we have Members of Parliament who were short-changed during the nomination process. They secured nominations from other parties, contested and won. A good example is Hon. Oyoo. He is a very popular man on the ground, but some people decided that he should not come to Parliament. The Almighty God and his people said: “No! Oyoo, you can stand on any other party except KANU.” He was a member of KANU."
