    "content": "question he has raised is important. There is need for a step of reporting to the party by candidates and a further step of reporting to the IEBC. He seems to suggest that we do not need the party step, and that if candidates are going to report, then they should report directly to the IEBC. However, in the spirit of the new Constitution, and even in the spirit of where we are going, even in the sense of how the House is now organised, where we have got a Majority Coalition and Minority Coalition, we are going into a place where political parties are going to make sense. Parties make sense, but what we have in this regime is actually more of the coalitions making sense. As we go along, a time will come when parties will make sense. When parties are meaningful and strong, they should be able to obligate their candidates to comply with these particular requirements. So, I would urge that we leave it."
