    "content": " Hon Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 18 of the Bill be amended in paragraph (b) by deleting the words “and minutes of the approval of the list by the Party’s election board” appearing in the proposed new subsection (2) and substituting therefor the words “in accordance with the prescribed regulations and the relevant constitution of the party” The gist of this amendment is basically to try and sort out the challenge noted in Clause 18. It says that there would be a statutory declaration signed by the person authorised to certify that the candidates were nominated by the party, and production of minutes of approval of the list by the party election board. That particular part and the minutes of approval of the list of the party election board, is what I am seeking to amend. This is because parties have constitutions. So, the process of nomination is clearly specified in a party’s constitution. Secondly, before the nomination process the IEBC, which is mandated by law under the Election Act, usually issues regulations which guide the process. So, my amendment is to bring to light the issue that, that process should be done according to the prescribed regulation and party constitution. This is so that it helps us in dealing with the issues that the Members have raised on amendment by Hon. Kioni."
