The amendment to Clause 18 is the one that introduces amendments to Section 44 of the Elections Act by deleting the timelines from eight months to 120 days for purposes of procurement. The advice we have is that if you allow procurement to be done four months to the general elections, you will have the same problem like in 2013. Mr. Chairman, Sir, secondly, this was part of the political settlement that was agreed and signed into law by His Excellency the President. Thank you."}
