    "content": " Hon Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support this amendment for the same reasons for supporting the amendments made by the Chair, the spirit of which is to cure the mischief of persons changing nomination lists which have already been decided on. What Hon. Osotsi has done is to navigate away from the Members’ concern about micromanaging political parties and saying, therefore, that we do this in accordance with a party’s constitution. In the constitution, there are regulations. There will be the prescribed form, which is what the Chair was trying to bring out, and the authorised person. I have practised a lot in the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal. A lot of complaints that get there are about unauthorised persons sending lists to countermand the ones already sent, and another person sending a list to cancel the other person’s list. So, if we go by that amendment, we will have accommodated political parties without constraining them or micromanaging them and taking care of the mischief which Hon. Kioni and the Committee, where I sit, is trying to deal with. I, therefore, support Hon. Osotsi’s amendment. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
