    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I wish also to support Hon. Duale’s amendment. When we talk about the Registrar of Political Parties, it is a body that is only meant to regulate political parties on registrations and all those other matters that concern parties. But, it is not meant to regulate the activities of parties, especially nominations, party elections and all that. That one must be left to the parties themselves to deal with those issues. If we were to indulge or allow the Registrar of Political Parties to run nominations of parties, I think we would be arm-twisting parties and even Members of the parties. In a way, the Registrar of Political Parties will be influencing each and every affair that is happening. One thing that I understand is that if we want our nominations to be run freely and fairly, there is the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) that we can indulge during the nominations. To claim a body that is meant to be regulating the parties or the registration of parties and registration of members to be running the activities of nominations and registration of members is wrong. I support the amendment by Hon. Duale."
