    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I think what the Member is raising is, indeed, valid, but I think it will form the substantive debate of these Regulations. There are the principal Regulations of 2012 contained in various regulations touching on various aspects of the election process. What IEBC has recommended are amendments on certain sections of the principal regulations? Therefore, I think as we move on to debate now, we should have the principal Regulations next to our amendments and see the areas that Members feel--- Hon. Speaker, you realise that our role as a Committee is only limited to what has been presented to us or the House by the Commission to enable us approve these amendments as proposed by the Commission. As I said earlier, the process of amending these regulations is the function and the business of the Commission. I think my colleague and senior Member can allow that I finish moving and then in the debate of the fourth part of the regulations, they can raise those issues and then we can canvass them as a House. That is exactly why you gave us time last week for Members to have time to go through this, look at the amendments, reflect on the principal Regulations of 2012 and propose amendments, if they think they should be considered. Hon. Speaker, if you allow me to proceed, then I think what is raised by Hon. Midiwo should be canvassed well in the debate of the regulations."
