    "content": "and brought them again in 2020 without carrying out any public participation. We all know that elections are very volatile and emotive in this country. So, they went ahead to do so without carrying out any public participation. (vii) The IEBC indicated that it had submitted amendments to the National Assembly’s Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs to amend the parent Act in 2019 to enable it make rules to regulate election campaign financing and that this amendment has not been acted upon. Again, we do not act on proposed Bills. We go by what has been assented to by the President. So, they cannot turn around and say they had submitted their proposed amendments to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. This demonstrates they are just hiding their dirt and rot under the carpet. Hon. Speaker, therefore, the Committee recommends to the House as follows: (i) That we annul Gazette Notice No.8024 on contributions and spending limits for political parties and candidates for the purposes of the General Elections scheduled to be held on 9th August, 2022, published by IEBC on 9th August, 2021. (ii) We reject the publication of the Draft Election Campaign Financing Regulations submitted by the IEBC. Hon. Speaker, I beg to move and request Hon. Wangari to second. Thank you."
