    "content": "(2) The partly list shall be submitted together with a statutory declaration signed by the person authorised to certify that the candidates were nominated by the party and minutes of the approval of the list by the party’s election board.” Therefore, what he is basically doing is that he is saying that instead of micromanaging the party and telling the party to bring minutes, then scale it up and say “use the party constitution or regulations.” However, if we are to go by what Hon. Duale is saying, then we need to reject Hon. Osotsi’s and reject the main one. However, if we do not reject the main one, then what Hon. Osotsi is doing is actually enriching this one. Based on the psyche and argument that has been espoused in this House, we are basically saying we do not want to micromanage parties. However, if you tell a party to bring minutes of its election board, how much micromanagement is that other than telling them to follow their constitution? I think telling people to follow their constitution is less of a micromanagement than telling them to bring minutes. Therefore, if we are not dropping this main one, I think Osotsi’s amendment is valid."
