    "content": "is trying to confer upon the Registrar powers that amount to interference with the democratic space of political parties to conduct their affairs. I want Members to listen to me. I am moving this amendment on behalf of the people of Garissa Township. I do not need to withdraw. For the first time in the history of Kenya, political parties are formed from the provision in the Constitution on multi-party system. If we can subject ourselves as parties to be regulated by the office of the Registrar of Political Parties, then what was the essence of political parties submitting nomination rules and procedures? We must listen to each other here. It is not about United Democratic Alliance (UDA), Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) or Kenya African National Union (KANU). This matter is so serious. Some of you who are seated here will miss their close diehard supporters, family members, including their wives, in that register. We are trying to mortgage powers that belong to parties, secretary generals, chairs and party leaders to an individual. You might be very close to the Registrar of Political Parties today. However, you will cry tomorrow. I want to tell the Members of the National Assembly that they will be the first victims."
