    "content": "Clause 35 of the Bill be amended by deleting Subclause (8). With the realization that what we have passed in Clause 32 is deleting part “a”, I would want to propose that we delete Subclause 8 of Clause 35 which basically says: “A person who is nominated by a political party under Subsections 2, 3 and 4 shall have been a member of the political party for at least three months preceding the date of submission of the party list by the political party.” Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, this is restricting the freedom of association of Members – not only Members but also Kenyan citizens. What this clause says is that because the party has already been told to submit the list of the names three months before; and you must have been a member of that party three months before, then a member should have been a member of that political party six months before an election. Members have got the right to move from one party to another without calling it party hopping. It might be sightseeing or whatever you want to call it. So, I propose that we delete sub-clause 8 of Clause 35."
