    "content": "(b) by deleting the proposed new paragraph (fe). Clause 20 (fd) and (fe) of the Bill provide additional functions for the Registrar of Political Parties which shall be to regulate political parties’ nominations and train election agents. I want Members to listen to me. I am sure that you will remember me because you will be victims of this proposed law. The framers of the Constitution did not contemplate that one of the functions of the Registrar of the Political Parties would be to train your agents for party nominations. Hon. Otiende Amollo is seated in the House. I am sure that the function of the Registrar of Political Parties was never contemplated to deal with nomination of parties. The Registrar has no role whatsoever in regulating political parties’ nominations or training of election agents. As we sit here, political parties submitted rules of nomination and procedure to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). It gave each of the many political parties a certificate. The functions of the Registrar of Political Parties are like those of a department of IEBC. We have already subscribed to IEBC based on our party constitution. This amendment is trying to create an imperial Registrar of Political Parties who will manage who to train as agents. She can deny some of you the training, or key supporters and family members chances to be in that certified register. This function falls within the political parties’ constitution.
