    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT,the clause 11 be amended— (a) in subclause (1)— (i) by deleting paragraph (a); (ii) in paragraph (b), by deleting the word “final” appearing immediately before the word “expenditure”; (b) in subclause (5), by deleting the expression “subsections (1)(b), (2), (3) and (4)” and substituting therefor the expression “subsection (2)”. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, what it says here is that a party candidate shall submit to the political party of that candidate and to the Commission preliminary nomination expenditure report within seven days of political party nomination. This is impractical. In reality, it is not possible. We all know what goes on after the nomination. The experience that we have is that for almost a week people camp at the party headquarters chasing their certificates. It is impractical and impossible. There is no harm in bringing our experiences to the formulation of good laws because that is the reality. I can assure you that in the foreseeable future, seven days is ambitious, impractical and impossible. I plead with the Chair to support me on this without us having to meet in Nakuru."
