"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know that this House is very jealous of conferring on other organs, other than the Public Prosecutor, the power to prosecute. But the time has come. I have just been told in another law I was moving this morning that I should create teeth for these institutions. Therefore, I encourage and I sincerely want to plead with the House to give the Electoral Commission the power to prosecute, so that when an offence occurs--- In fact, at page 997, it is written:- “(i) A member of the Commission or any officer designated by the Commission may order the arrest of a person who commits an offence under this Act. (ii) The Commission shall have the power to prosecute any offences under this Act and impose sanctions against a person who commits an offence under this Act, pending the hearing and determination of the offence.”"
