    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move that the new clauses be read a Second Time. The first amendment is to tidy up the Act. It speaks to many amendments that have been brought to this Act by many Members, most of which have been passed. By repealing Section 36, we shall tidy up the Act so that it is in tune not only with the Constitution but also with the amendments that have been made today. The import of the second amendment is the fact that we have to tidy up the process of removal of the Registrar of Political Parties or her assistant. This is because she is a person who holds the office in trust for the people of Kenya. Even as we protect their security of tenure, we should give any aggrieved Kenyan an opportunity and guidelines on how they can be removed from office. The process will include bringing the charges to this House to be considered by the relevant Committee, in this case the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs; so that we do not end up punishing Kenyans. Thank you very much."
