    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, I rise to oppose this amendment because in legislating this way, we are actually legislating for indiscipline within parties. It is saying that we want to go back to the anarchical behavior of members within parties. But also fundamentally, there has been civic education in the country to Kenyans on what these provisions of the Constitution and what the Political Parties and Elections Acts means. People have been educated and told that it is important that they belong to a party or belong to none if they do not want to associate themselves to a given manifesto. So, this is going to confuse Kenyans and it is also important that if you think you want to be an independent candidate, make up your mind early enough and carry on with that line. Do not look for rescue votes too late in the day."
