Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to contribute with regard to the amendment relating to the Political Parties Act. The Political Parties Act is a very important instrument in entrenching democracy in this country and. as you would know, the current Registrar of Political Parties in this country was not recruited in a competitive manner. So, the proposal made under this Bill is to ensure that any future registrars of political parties are recruited competitively through a process that follows the law. However, I have a problem with the current postulation in the Bill."}
