    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not very sure that, that is a point of order. However, under this Bill, it is an offence for any public officer to campaign using public resources. The fine is Kshs500,000. That has been taken care of. If you claim that you want to be a governor or the president and you are still working as a civil servant, some of the decisions that you make may be seen to be political. So, we need to protect our civil servants from accusations of politics. When we pass this Bill, we are going to democratize our political parties. Our parties have been accused of being undemocratic. They have been accused of giving their supporters and loyalists direct nominations and certificates. I am glad that this is now prohibited and even if your supporter is the most loyal to you, you cannot give them an automatic nomination certificate. This is not allowed."
