    "content": "When we talk about miscellaneous, it has to do with minor or insignificant changes but in this case, Kenya is a multiparty democracy and we have political parties. Article 92 of the Constitution is very clear. It says that Parliament shall enact laws that will help in the regulation of these political parties. If you look at the Political Parties Act, you will find that when it comes to the appointment of the Registrar who is actually like the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who manages the political parties there should be a selection board. I read a lot of mischief in these amendments. If you say that whenever a vacancy arises in the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties or the Assist Registrar, the President shall, with the approval of the National Assembly, appoint a selection committee. The President belongs to a political party and if we give him powers to appoint this committee, of course, it goes without saying that he is likely to be biased."
