    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I actually understand what Hon. Jeremiah Kioni is trying to do. It is the way he phrased it that does not deal with the issue. The reason I am saying this is because in the last Parliament we formed a panel of Members of Parliament specifically for nominating MCAs. One Member in my county nominated everyone yet we sat and actually came up with a list which is in law, and as was provided for in our party constitution. So, when a person violates the law, what is the option that is available and yet they go ahead and serve their term? This term something similar almost happened. I know one constituency - I think it is Hon. Obara’s or Hon. Lilian Gogo’s - that came up with absolutely no one. This, again, was because people meddled with the process of coming up with the list. I know that the Member has a very valid reason for bringing this amendment but it is, perhaps, the way he has framed it that is not right. We need to find a way of dealing with situations where individuals want to hog the whole list by bringing their sisters, brothers, aunties and stuff like that."
