    "content": "(b) in sub-regulation (2) (b) by deleting the word “close” immediately after the word “may” and substituting therefor the word “transfer”. (c) In sub-regulation (3) by deleting the word “closes” immediately after the words “if the registration officer” and substituting therefor the word “transfer”. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we are deleting paragraph (a) of regulation 31. This is an important amendment because this is one of the proposed regulations that are inconsistent with the parent Act by allowing for mobile registration of voters outside constituencies. We think that, that amounts to an election offence. So, we are proposing the deletion of the same. On part (b), it calls for giving the powers to a registration officer to close a registration centre knowing the way Kenyans wait for the end of the period, so that they can rush. So, the closure of such a registration based on numbers will not be fair. So, we are proposing to allow them to transfer that unit within the registration area but not to close it. So, amendments of parts (b) and (c) are to allow for transfer within the registration area instead of closing of the same. I move that we amend regulation 31."
