    "content": "money should be specifically directed to pay them. That may be abused, but you cannot rule out and throw away the fact that that incentive to political parties and the need to uplift women who are in that special interest category in terms of financing is something that we need to completely embrace. There is the issue about access to media. This has raised problems in terms of how you deal with an opponent of yours that has been exposed to media to your disadvantage. Again, those are things that you can qualify in terms of who exactly would be entitled to this access to the media, what extent of the access to media and at what point that will become a disadvantage to the other members who are also participating in elections. Having said that, I want to make a few comments in respect to what the Bill is trying to do. The Persons with Disabilities Act is one of the Acts, among other Acts, the Bill proposes to deal with. It may interest us to know that it is seeking to make amendments to the Persons with Disabilities Act, so that persons with disabilities are considered as one of the persons that are considered in terms of Article 100 of the Constitution. It seeks to promote the inclusion of persons with disabilities in decision-making. One of the other things that this Bill seeks to do in terms of persons with disabilities - which is an obligation of the IEBC in terms of the Elections Act - is to ensure that the voter register has desegregated data that will help in planning for elections, nominations, activities and functions that bring persons with disabilities up to speed in terms of their ability to compete."
