    "content": "Hon. Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, the Bill be amended by inserting the following new clause immediately after the proposed New Clause 32A— Amendment of section 32B. Section 6 of the Elections Campaign Financing Act, 2013 6 of No. 42 of 2013. is amended in subsection (5) by deleting the word “eight” appearing in paragraph (a) and substituting therefor the word “two.” The import of this is to reduce the time within which candidates are expected to file their returns with the IEBC, that is their finance committee to manage the affairs and to file their accounts. The reason being that, you do not expect aspirants to do so; you only become a candidate when you have been nominated by your party. Therefore, to require aspirants and people who intend to run and they are still employed in Government is an absurdity in law. Therefore, we are proposing that when the law comes into operation, it will be two months instead of eight months. I thank you."
