    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair. In this country, we have institutions that regulate and others that manage. We cannot leave politics of this country and political parties to operate in a vacuum. We are strengthening the office of the Registrar of Political Parties to regulate political parties. The work of the IEBC is managing elections, not to regulate political parties. Look at the IEBC Act, it does not contain the section that we are trying to put in the Political Parties (Amendment) Bill. There is a regulator and a manager for elections. If you lump them up together, regulation of political parties under the IEBC, they will not focus on elections and instead, you will bring us problems in this country. Elections have brought problems in this country. We have seen our President and his Deputy going To the Hague. Let us leave the work of regulation of political parties in this Act under the Registrar of Political Parties, and the management of the elections to the IEBC."
