    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, regulation 17 be amended in paragraph (1), by- (a) deleting the words “at the same time deliver to the Commission, eighty” and substituting therefor the words “deliver to the Commission at least five days to the day fixed for nomination, in a hard and electronic version”; (b) inserting the words “identity card or passport number” immediately after the words “respective signatures”. This is an important amendment because, as you are aware, hon. Harun Mwau took A4 certification list up to the Court of Appeal and yet, IEBC is saying that presidential candidates must deliver to the Commission 80 foolscap sized papers. The presidential candidate needs to deliver 50,000 names, meaning that each A4 paper would be required to have the signatures and names of 624 persons. So, to avoid having another petition case where the numbers would not be achievable, we are deleting that 80. We are also appreciating that in this day and age, we should give an electronic version of the list so that the IEBC can have ample time to verify that those subscribers are actually voters. That is the import of amendment “a”."
