    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 40 of the Bill be amended- (a) by deleting Sub-clauses (1) and (2) (b) in Sub-clause 3 by inserting the word “relevant” immediately after the words “code issued by the”. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, Clause 40 actually purports that there will be certain administrative action which may be taken and which may bar certain persons from contesting. This is equivalent to vetting and in our view, the Constitution actually provides that a free and fair election is more or less enough to do the vetting for those who are going into elective office. If we retain Clause 40 as it is, then we should be ready to set up some administrative arrangements similar to the ones KANU used to have, where everybody had to be cleared from the ward up to the President’s level. I do not know who that person will be to administratively say: “Hon. Khalwale is not fit to go into an election.” I propose that we delete this administrative activity."
