    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you very much. I thank the Committee for noting the rush that the IEBC is trying to do while they had five years to prepare themselves. Some of the things which were sneaked in the last minute are normally not quite okay. They have a hidden agenda. Therefore, I support what the Committee has recommended. There are so many grey areas that needed to be addressed, especially in counting of votes. Presiding officers normally count votes in a hurry; instead of saying one, two, three, they should show a vote to everyone so that they see for whom it is marked. Preparedness is required in advance. This is not a matter of jokes. People have made a lot of investments in elections, including emotions, money and time. People also put their man-hours in supporting candidates. I support the rejection of the regulations. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
