    "content": " We cannot throw the baby out with the bathwater. They delayed. I am saying that this is a very important Regulation. If you do not cap campaign funds, it means the richer you are, the higher the possibility of you being elected. That will lock out many hustlers who are very good leaders, but since they do not have means and the money, they may not be elected. So, as much as we discuss about them coming in late, already, they were tabled one year before the election. They were brought in last Thursday, and it was the duty of this House to call for a special sitting. We have called for special sittings on Sunday or Saturday. This would ensure that the Regulations arrive on time, one year and several days before the elections. It was our duty to ensure that since they are a bit late, as a responsible House, we do not delay, but fast-track them, so that we can meet the 9th August deadline. We are pointing a finger at the IEBC, but the remaining four are pointing at us. Hon. Speaker, as you give us your guidance, please, let us not throw the baby out with the bathwater because the baby is very important."
