Olekina","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":407,"legal_name":"Ledama Olekina","slug":"ledama-olekina"},"content":"These amendments will give the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) the power to set limits of how much a Member of County Assembly (MCA), Member of Parliament (MP), presidential, or gubernatorial candidate can fundraise. That money must be deposited in an account. This amendment that I am proposing will ensure a fiducially duty or responsibility on the part of the committee that manages those funds. I had already spoken about safekeeping of records and making sure they are returned to the electoral body. Most importantly, it will not be a requirement for the Auditor-General to audit each and every candidate as it is in the Act currently. That is a very tedious exercise."}
