    "content": "time, there was the President, the Vice-President and the Prime Minister. Now we have 47 new executives in this country who are going to have State machinery. If we are not careful, you can imagine the kind of pressure that will be out there during the campaign period with every governor having an entourage that is spending public funds. This law needs to curtail the use of public funds when people are carrying out campaigns. On the issue of redistribution of wards, boundaries are one of the things that have been mentioned in this Bill. I have a problem in my constituency with two of my wards, namely, Upper Kaewa/Iveti and Lower Kaewa/Kaani. Interestingly, instead of the upper being “Upper” and the lower being “Lower”, the headquarters of the “Lower” is up in the hills. It is at the highest point in the constituency. There is confusion in the way some of the wards are distributed. It is important that this is looked at by the Commission. Finally, I support electoral reforms. Elections should be strengthened to ensure there will be no rigging. We do not want to have a situation where we complain about stolen votes for five years. This law should help to improve our electoral process in future."
