    "content": "I also want to comment about the nomination process. The Joint Select Committee of Parliament was concerned with the IEBC matters and reforms. However, it has gone further to recommend how we are going to run political parties. It appears that this Committeee went beyond its scope. Possibly, one of the reasons why this happened is because this Committee was chaired by two very senior members, unfortunately, both from the Senate. It was not very balanced as far as the input of the National Assembly was concerned. When Members speak about party hopping, it is not that they do not understand the need to be loyal to political parties. We have to address the failure in the management of political parties. The fact that a member can hop from one political party and get elected in another political party is, in itself, a statement about how undemocratic the management of some political parties is. I have that experience having won a party nomination only to be denied a certificate. The experience one goes through is very painful. We do not wish to experience it. Now that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
