    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we are trying to bring this amendment in order for the Electoral and Boundaries Commission, when managing elections, to consider and appreciate the general principles of elections that were given under our Constitution. Under Article 27(6) and (8), there is a right that indicates that the full effects of the realization of the rights will be effected by legislation. What we are doing now is that we are legislating for elections. This amendment will cure the discrimination, problems that we will face in future and the constitutional crisis that we foresee in future. I am proposing this amendment so that in future, we do not enter into a problem that we could have solved today. I plead with hon. Members that this is a constitutional matter or right. I want to tell them that under the Constitution the electoral principle will be implemented through a legislation that we are trying to do now."
