    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the concerns raised by the hon. Member. You will appreciate that for the Government to consider extending time, we will need a legal framework. Since the Political Parties Bill is ready, we propose to expedite its publication so that the matter is squarely put before the House. We will then have a comprehensive mechanism of dealing with political parties. Currently, the practice that has emerged is that Members of political parties, afraid of applying democracy in dealing with their own disputes, are using the courts or the Office of the Registrar-General to run their parties. It is, therefore, incumbent on this House, once that Bill is published, to expedite matters so that we may have a proper framework."
