    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, the other thing that I want to say on this election Bill is that I know in a way it is trying to regulate expenses. Yes, it is good to regulate the expenses of the candidates. It is good to regulate the expenses of the party for the benefit of the candidates. You can see some Members of Parliament present here and elsewhere including Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) are busy trying to develop their constituencies. If you are not regulated, you will find somebody giving money and he is nominated. We want elections in future to be based on the development agenda of the individual members of a given party. Two, they should be based on the manifesto of a given party. Three, of course, they should also be based on the ideas and plans of candidates and not on money. So, I support that part of the Bill. There is need to introduce some element of party nomination so that the party can nominate the right people to be its flag bearers."
