    "content": "people by setting others. Therefore, the creation of room for giving warning the first and the second time is very realistic so that people cannot misuse that provision. On political parties funding, the current dispensation is very good because it ensures that the State funds political parties. One of the things we need to consider in this country is to see how the State can fund nomination process. This is because one of the biggest problems which we have encountered in this country is that of nomination process. It is a nightmare because no political party in this country has capacity to carry out a free and fair nomination. I wish to encourage this House to amend the law on elections so that in future, we have the IEBC carrying out nominations for our political parties. People might say that we do not trust the Commission but, at the end of the day, it is better to have a better Satan than something that brings misery to so many people. In future, we might encourage the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs to come up with amendments to the law so that we have our nominations held in a free and fair manner. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker if this amendment Bill goes through, it will actually ensure that many people who have never dreamt of coming to this House will have a chance too in the future. I am sure the people who know my background wonder how I came to this House. I thank the people of Kericho County especially those ones from my constituency because they did not consider that hon. Limo did not have enough funding. They considered leadership qualities inherent in many young people currently. With those few comments, I support and call upon my colleagues to do the same and give their various views in ensuring that we amend it so that it becomes a better law."
