    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the amendment by the hon. Minister in (a) seems okay with me. But when he deletes sub-clause 2 which says a candidate nominated by a political party shall not appoint his own agent, I thought a better phrase would have been “may appoint his own agent”. That would have given the room for members to appoint and the Electoral Commission would accept it. But if it is blank, then they may still gag and tell you that it is only the political party which can appoint an agent for you. Sometimes, they complain about the rooms which are not enough. So, I thought by deleting that clause, we will not be curing whatever hon. Members were afraid of; that is members would be allowed to appoint their own agents. I think deleting that sub-clause would not do justice and I wish to oppose the Minister’s amendment, so that mine is carried."
