    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on Clause 44 everybody has talked about participation in elections by public officers. We need to clarify about those public officers who aspire to vie for positions during the forthcoming elections. What will be the time for resignation? When do they have to resign in order to participate in elections? Again, Clause 44(d) does not allow a public officer to:- “use public resources to initiate new development projects in any constituency or county three months before an election in that constituency or county.” Take, for instance, the issue of civil servants who are serving and maybe they have development projects in those constituencies and they are also aspiring to vie. That is why we are saying it is should be very clear when they are supposed to resign. In my case, public officers aspiring to go into politics must resign one year before the election."
