    "content": "I am also happy about the amendments in this Bill especially on the issue of political party nominations. These party nominations will have some activity for the people who are going to be nominated. The candidates who will take part in elective activities will garner votes, especially women candidates. It is these women candidates who will be gazetted for nomination. So, people will get out of the belief that women are given seats. The second runners up should be given the nomination slots. That will bring sanity to nominations. We all know what happened in 2013. It was a big sham. We have people who would have served better in county assemblies and the National Assembly but they were dropped because they did not know who mattered at that time in the parties. This would be a very good Bill especially when it comes to the issue of nominations because we will have ranking when it comes to the votes one has garnered. The constituents will also feel that such a person deserves the nomination because they have done something. They will also taste how it feels to vie. That way, the nominated will respect the people who have vied."
