    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I beg to support the inclusion of new Clause 34(b). I want to allay the fears of those who, like my learned friend has said, feel that talking of a serious violation of the Constitution is nebulous. It may be so, but because the matter would be heard by a Tribunal which is essentially a court--- It would be seized of the matter and it would be able to conclude what is a serious violation. What if the Registrar acts contrary to the Constitution, for instance, in the distribution of money or in the registration of political parties? That Tribunal would be able to assess whether that behavior amounts to a serious violation of the Constitution. I am looking at this. This enhances, not just the independence of the Registrar, but the duty bestowed on the Registrar to faithfully follow the law and the Constitution of Kenya, knowing that Kenyans are not helpless. Should the Registrar deviate, then Kenyans have a red card to show the Registrar. I support this Section because it enhances accountability."
