"content": "By looking at the volume of these regulations, you may think they are suspicious but mostly there are just forms to be filled. I want to ask the Chairman to come up with a smaller volume which will encourage us to read them. We need the regulations to be separated from the forms so that it will be easy for members to read. Finally, I am happy about the way the regulations have been laid out. I want to encourage discipline to be exercised in political parties’ primaries. If we do not do it well at the primaries level, the elections may not be free and fair. All political parties holding their primaries should make sure they use the right channels and treat everybody well. I saw nominations which took place in my area. We called them “kangaroo nominations” because Jubilee aspirants selected 10 people each and took them to a bush and did nominations even before the party had decided on the dates and venue. They went ahead to do nominations in a wrong and insecure place and many candidates were not happy with that."
