    "content": "I start by congratulating Hon. Mutua for coming up with this amendment which I believe is timely. The amendment talks about timing. It does not talk about who and who are going to be nominated. It is talking about the timing of submission of the nomination lists by the parties. So, all we need to do is to look at the merits and demerits of the timing. I support this because submission of lists after the elections will enable the parties to identify the rightful people who can be nominated by the parties—the party supporters and those who have seriously contributed to the success of the party. Nominations before the election brings in even those people who will deceive the party machinery that they are with the party, yet they just came in for the purpose of getting nomination. Nomination after the elections should be preferred to nomination before the elections. When we are discussing this, we should be concentrating on the timing. Not who and who are going to be nominated. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
