    "content": "I oppose this Bill because it is malicious and it is made in bad faith. This Bill is not geared towards identifying leadership and giving leadership positions to those who deserving but it is geared towards massaging the egos of the losers. This Bill seeks to amend Section 35 of the Elections Act on party nomination lists under Article 90 of the Constitution from forwarding names at least 45 days from the date of the general election to within 21 days after the date of the general election. After the general election, we would have known the losers, those who have been rejected by masses or constituents and counties and those who have been rejected by the country at large, those gunning for the presidential election. To massage their egos and try to control their perennial rejection of the outcome of the election, we now need to find a soft landing spot for them. In every competition there must be a loser and a winner. If today we say everybody will get a gold medal in 100 metres, you will find Hon. Sankok with his crutches also competing in the 100 metres to get a gold medal. This is what this amendment Bill will do because there will not be losers."
