    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, you remember I had proposals to amend Clause 3 and 4 on the inclusion of slogan as one way of protecting the parties’ slogans. I still have a problem with having the import of a slogan in this particular section. The importation of the word slogan is likely to be abused. Political parties are known to use different slogans. You are aware that there are even some political parties that use “tibim”, “tialala”, hustler and others now use “ azimio” from Orange . The restriction that a slogan should be registered provides a restriction that may not be necessary. It is going to be cumbersome and not conducive to democratic space. It is my view, and I want to urge the Members to look at this thing with a broad mind. The broad mind will tell them that without bringing in the slogan and the restrictions that it must be registered, it will be beneficial to all political parties. We have in the past had the symbols and names protected. We are now bringing in a slogan. So, tomorrow, if you use a different slogan during the campaigns, you will be accused of using a slogan that does not exist and that is not registered."
