    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. Let begin by thanking my two honourable colleagues; Senator for Mombasa Sen. Faki for supporting this amendments and Sen. Khaniri for demystifying what these amendments are for. I thank them so much because what we seek to do is come up with legislation for posterity. He got it well and I want to sum it up. It is quite clear and there is only one thing I did not mention when I was moving the amendments. One of the other objectives is to remove the requirement for independent candidates. Political parties and referendum committee to establish campaign expenditure committees to manage campaign funds on their behalf. This was a tedious requirement. If it was a political party, you would be required by the governing council to nominate a body that manages the finances. If you are an independent candidate, you set up the expenditure committee for them to manage all the finances. This is tedious and bars a lot of people because not everyone would like to offer in kind services or voluntary services. Other people require you to pay them. If you are trying to look for money to run a campaign and yet the law requires you to set up a committee of people who will manage your resources for you, it makes it tedious."
