    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other issue is that certain people feel that they own parties. I have said that even in the Jubilee Coalition that some governors and other people feel that the party belongs to them. If you do not agree with any of their views, and you raise concerns about marginalisation of your people, you are told that you cannot be there. Party members should be allowed to decide what is best for them and for their people. There is also the issue of the Registrar of Political Parties. I believe that we should have a substantive Registrar of Political Parties. The job should be given on merit because it is a very powerful position. It influences a lot of things, just like the way the courts do. The Registrar of Political Parties should be somebody who is qualified and non partisan. The appointee should meet all the requirements for appointment to that particular office. The special interest groups have also been mentioned. The marginalised communities must also be considered. Most of these communities look at the parties that will convince them. They have said on record that they will not be going to anybody anymore. They will wait for us to decide whether we will be with them or not. Nobody should think that we will write to them to be included in their party."
