    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Clause 8 states that:- \"Any person who suppresses or attempts to suppress any lawful political activity---\" So, when the Commissioner of Police attempts to suppress us, is he guilty of any offence? To whom is this issue left? This should be specified for the benefit of political parties and then we would know who suppresses a political party and in what manner. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me take you quickly to Clause 15(a), which says that:- \"A political party shall be qualified to be fully registered if it has:- (a) first been provisionally registered\". When is a political party provisionally registered and for how long? Could the Bill specify up to what period provisional registration can last, so that a political party knows that if it is given provisional registration, it will last for a certain period of time? If this clause is left vaguely, it can be used or misused to suppress other political parties because they are given provisional registration. It does not state when the real registration should be given. Are you allowed to operate as a political party during that provisional registration? That should be clarified. Clause 15(2) states inter alia that:- \"Any alien shall not be appointed to any office or be a founding or ordinary or other member of a political party in Kenya\"."
