Silvanus Onyiego","speaker":{"id":1417,"legal_name":"Silvanus Osoro Onyiego","slug":"silvanus-osoro-onyiego"},"content":"(da) keep and maintain a register of members of a registered political party; provided that reference to a registered political party shall not include a registered coalition political party; Going by what has been happening in this House from Clauses 1 to 20, you will notice that the Coalition Political Party has already passed but there is no such a thing called a corporate list of members of a coalition political party. That is why we propose that each political party should maintain their register. There is no such a thing as a corporate register that the coalition political party should have. Perhaps, a bigger party and a smaller party who perhaps form a coalition will go for a joint nomination. It is important for each political party to use their own register and not a corporate. If they agree to have a nomination in a certain region, no person from one party would move to the other party to participate in the nomination because there is no such a thing as a corporate register of a coalition political party. So, what this amendment seeks is to have each party have their own register because there is no such a thing as a coalition political party. I beg to move."}
