    "content": "Second, was the failure to observe timelines. Where was the IEBC since 2017? Why did they have to wait until the eleventh hour to rush the Regulations and pass the statutory timelines provided for in the Statutory Instruments Act? The law requires that Election Campaign Financing Regulations must be passed at least 12 months before the next general elections. In fact, by 9th August 2021, these Regulations ought to have been concluded. Today is 23th September 2021 and we are discussing Regulations that should have been law a month ago. This piece of legislation should have been enacted one year to the election. This falls flat noting that Section 13 of the Statutory Instruments Act requires that there will be no justifiable reason — and I hope the Chairman of the IEBC is listening to me — that can delay the submission, publication and laying of these Regulations before the House."
