    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Clauses 28, 29 and 30 are very important because they relate to how candidates are supported but Clause 31 is very dangerous for any candidate. If the law says that a party will nominate or appoint agents, you can imagine a situation where a party appoints an agent to help a presidential candidate, a senator, a governor, a parliamentary and a county assembly candidate and that agent perhaps supports the party’s presidential candidate and not the parliamentary candidate or any other candidate. It means that the agent will even undermine members of his or her own party. The law should allow any candidate standing the ability and capacity to nominate and appoint agents of their own. If the party supports it, so be it. There is no guarantee that agents appointed by the party will support every candidate standing on the line of the party. There is a possibility of prejudicing candidates for no reason. So, the Minister should look at Clause 31 and reframe it to say that any candidate standing in any election has the right to appoint an agent of choice to superintend his or her elections."
