    "content": " I was saying that if you read subsections (2), (3) and (5), it means that if as a Member of Parliament running for nomination your name fails to appear in the certified list from the Registrar of Political Parties, then you shall not participate either to vote or to be voted for in the party nominations. Therefore, all I am doing in this amendment is to remove the issue of seeking certification from the Registrar and to allow a party to use its own register of members from its own party headquarters. If you are listed as a member of a political party, you may participate in party nominations. Hon. KJ is whispering to me a case example; the case of Raila Odinga’s name missing from the voters register in 2007. There are discussions we had had earlier on the question of whether to use the word ‘shall’ or the word ‘may’. That is a discussion that we had off the record. As I conclude, we are in January of 2022. I want the Members to look me in the eyes. I promise you that by May of this year, some of you seated here will remember this day and how you have hanged yourselves. I beg to move."
