    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, last week, an issue was raised about the location of the Registrar of Political Parties. I want to acknowledge receipt of a letter dated 20th April, 2007. It is written to all Members of Parliament by the Chairman of the Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK). He seems to take issue with the fact that the Registrar of Political Parties is shown in the Bill to have operational autonomy. According to him, he will also be operating within the ECK, which is also autonomous. So that we do not split hairs over nothing, we need to state categorically whether we want the Registrar of Political Parties or whoever, to be located within the ECK, or want to give the function of registering political parties to the ECK. If, indeed, that could cause any form of friction, I think we should address it, as a House, and agree on how best to deal with the issue of where the Registrar of Political Parties is located. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support."
