    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair, I rise to oppose this amendment. I have said earlier that political parties are like membership clubs. When you want to get out from one party to another, you must go to the registrar of political parties’ office to remove your name from the ODM, UDA, Jubilee or any other party for you to move over to the other party. It is the responsibility of political parties to keep registers of their membership. So, if you are being told to use your membership register to conduct your nominations, why would you want to use people of the other party to participate in your nominations if you are not planning mischief? We must have hygiene in our politics. This Bill has come to bring hygiene in our politics. If UDA wants to do a nomination process, it is the membership of UDA that participates. If it is the ODM, it is only ODM. If it is Jubilee, it is Jubilee. There are people who are planning not to have a register so that they can use the IEBC register. The IEBC register is for general elections and not for party nominations. I come from a party that has conducted nominations for about seven elections."
