    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order 120, this House resolves to reduce the publication period of the Political Parties (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.2 of 2016) from 14 to 11 days. This is a fairly straightforward Bill which ought to have come to the Floor of the House last year. The Election Laws (Amendment) Bill was read for the first time last week. This Political Parties (Amendment) Bill was also discussed together with the Election Laws (Amendment) (No.3) Bill, 2015. The urgency of this Amendment Bill is that it has a consequence on the time within which political parties are expected to present their constitutions to the Registrar of Political Parties. There are certain timelines contained in this Bill within which we need to pass this Bill. This is because of the problems we had in the last election. It is important that this Amendment Bill be considered now so that we sort out those problems that we had in 2012/2013. I beg to move."
