    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT the Bill be amended in Clause 2 by inserting the following new definition in proper alphabetical sequence “publication” means the act of publishing or making known to the people at large, either by words, writing or printing”. If hon. Members will notice in the actual Bill, we did not provide for a definition of the word “publication” and because this Bill is essentially about publication, it is important that the meaning of “publication’ be included. Why this is important is because when I was doing consultations with stakeholders, the media houses, the pollsters and others, they have got the misconception that the Bill was about conducting opinion polls. The exercise of conducting opinion polls cannot be regulated because it would have failed Section 34 of the Constitution. The Bill is about publication after you have conducted an opinion poll; what you publish is what the Bill seeks to look at. So we have included the meaning and I ask Mr. Keter to second."
