Kimani Ichung’wah","speaker":{"id":1835,"legal_name":"Anthony Kimani Ichung'Wah","slug":"anthony-kimani-ichungwah"},"content":" Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am simply seeking to delete the words “a certified” in clause 38C(2), which says that a political party which intends to conduct political party nominations under this Act, shall use a certified register of members for nomination. I replace that with “its’” for it to read that the party shall use its’ register of members for the nomination. Again, in subsection (3), I seek to delete the words “apply in writing to the Registrar for a certified copy of the”. Subsection (3) says that the party intending to conduct political party nominations under this Act, shall apply in writing to the Registrar for a certified copy of the register of members at least 21 days. Therefore, I seek to delete “apply in writing to the Registrar for a certified copy of the” and replace that with the word “shall” and substituting therefor the words “submit to the Registrar a copy of its”. In essence, it is the question of going back to the Registrar when political parties are conducting party nominations to ask for a certified copy of their registers. I am simply giving political parties the option to use their own register that can be maintained by their own parties. The secretary-generals of the ODM, UDA and Jubilee have a register of their members. So, they do not need to ask for a certified copy from the Registrar for purposes of nomination.
