    "content": "I want to support this Amendment Bill because it will give an opportunity to political parties to make informed decisions after an election. Also, it will push political parties to support women who had vied for positions. We know if more women are elected in terms of the party lists being given after elections, there will be a deficit requiring more men to be nominated. This will also support women in elections. The proposal to give the party list 21 days after nominations is also advantageous because we will get to know the members who make contributions to political parties. If you give the list 45 days to the elections, it means if a member in the list is gazetted, they will stop contributing towards the political party. If it is given after elections, then members supporting political parties will continue making contribution until the day of election because they know the list will be given after elections. There is no better contribution than participating in the actual election. It is not a crime that after you vie for a political position and you become number two, three or four, then you are supposed to be disqualified because you have vied. In fact, political parties should give more support to Members who have tried and vied. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
