    "content": "So, we remove subsection 1(b), which requires a candidate to report to the Commission three months after an election; subsections (3) and (4) are about the independent candidate’s report. So, what we will have as the law is the Election Campaign Financing Bill that only governs expenditure by political parties, and not candidates because there is nowhere else where a candidate is compelled to submit a report to the Commission. I would like hon. Members to remember that we have already amended the Bill to say that the Commission can come to you at any time and ask for information. We have also, by rejecting the amendment, removed the shielding of a candidate by a party. I do not know how many of you have dealt the IEBC as individuals, and not through political parties. It is very difficult. So, I will ask hon. Gumbo to, kindly, reconsider his amendment, unless the objective is to make sure that the law only applies to political parties financing, and not candidate financing."
