    "content": "I am saying that we have taken too long discussing party-hopping when there is a provision which will fully cure this issue that we have been fighting. This problem is because of the weaknesses in the internal democracy or in the ability of political parties to conduct nominations. It will be on the Floor tomorrow. Once it is done, you do not even have to appear as an independent candidate because you will know whether you are losing in a polling station or not. It will be obvious. So, we do not have to be excited for no reason. Party-hopping comes about because there are mandarins controlling political parties. It comes about because you and I want to influence the change of member register and rig out others. If all of us were to go to the elections and look at who has been genuinely--- Some of us are waiting to kick the ballot boxes so that they can come to the party headquarters and look for certificates. This is what we want to do, but I can tell you that, having sat at the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, I know there will be no need for party-hopping because that will have been decided right there where wananchi will be voting. I thank you so much."
