    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I look at what has transpired during the debate of this Amendment Bill as a major triumph for the reason that it has gone beyond what I expected. Contributions have given me reason to realize that we must move this Bill to the Committee of the Whole so that we go beyond the narrow amendment on funding that I had looked at so as to include the great ideas that have come from this House, the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights led by Sen. Wako, the Registrar of Political Parties and from all other people who were consulted, including the CMD. A decision during voting, to move the Bill to that stage, is a decision meant to either make or break. I would like that decision of voting to be guided by only one reason; that we are giving this Bill a chance so that tuipige msasa . Hon. Senators, I want us to look beyond this Political Parties Act. There are many Acts in this county which were passed by the last Parliament. Some of us were Members of this Parliament, which we did hurriedly. In fact, some of them, you will recall, we used to do them up to midnight. Sometimes sitting here, only five of us could pass critical laws in the middle of the night. It is important that we look at all of them now that the heat of political campaign and fever is not pursuing us at the moment. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
