    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I want to contribute on 20(A)(1), in line with the amendment which was proposed by hon. (Eng.) Gumbo, Member of Parliament for Rarieda. I think we should add the same preamble which said, and such regulation shall be laid before the National Assembly for approval before they are published in the Gazette. I would want to propose that so that we are consistent. So, it says: “The Commission shall, at least, twelve months before an election, by notice in the Gazette prescribe the spending limits, including the total amount that a candidate, political party or referendum committee may spend during an expenditure period, including the limit for media coverage”. Therefore, prior to the words, “by notice in the Gazette” we insert what we did in clause 28, which says, “and such regulations shall be laid before the National Assembly for approval before they are published”."
