    "content": "THAT, this House adopts the Reports of the Committee on Delegated Legislation on five sets of election-related regulations, laid on the Table of the House today Wednesday, 28th March, 2017, pursuant to the provisions of Section 44(6) and Section 109(3) of the Elections Act, 2011 and approves the following election-related regulations: i. The Draft (Technology) Regulations, 2017; ii. The Draft Elections (Registration of Voters) (Amendment) Regulations, 2017; iii. The Draft Elections (Voter Education) Regulations, 2017; iv. The Draft Elections (General Regulations) (Amendment) Regulations, 2017; v. The Draft Elections (Party Primaries and Party Lists) Regulations, 2017. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Allow me to make a very important point on this. I would like to urge my colleagues to take their time and go through these draft regulations. The law is very clear that these should be approved by this House before they are published by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and implemented thereafter. Shortly, in the next few weeks, we will be going for party primaries and the Draft Elections (Party Primaries and Party Lists) Regulations shall apply. It is important for Members to have time to familiarise themselves with these regulations. They are very important for purposes of the forthcoming nominations. Therefore, I urge my colleagues to have time to go through them before we debate them on Thursday or next week, so that we can make inputs and ensure that whatever we pass here will facilitate party nominations in the country."
