Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. It is true that the amendment by the Leader of the Majority Party has no relation to ours. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 22 of the Bill be amended in the proposed new section 38C — (a) in subsection (2) by deleting the words “a certified” appearing immediately after the words “shall use” and substituting therefor the words “its”; (b) in subsection (3) by deleting the words “apply in writing to the Registrar for a certified copy of the” appearing immediately after the word “shall” and substituting therefor the words “submit to the ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am simply seeking to delete the words “a certified” in clause 38C(2), which says that a political party which intends to conduct political party nominations under this Act, shall use a certified register of members for nomination. I replace that with “its’” for it to read that the party shall use its’ register of members for the nomination. Again, in subsection (3), I seek to delete the words “apply in writing to the Registrar for a certified copy of the”. Subsection (3) says that the party intending to conduct political party nominations under this Act, ...

That does not negate the role of the Registrar to collect party membership registers across all the 80 registered political parties only for purposes of political party nominations.

I was saying that if you read subsections (2), (3) and (5), it means that if as a Member of Parliament running for nomination your name fails to appear in the certified list from the Registrar of Political Parties, then you shall not participate either to vote or to be voted for in the party nominations. Therefore, all I am doing in this amendment is to remove the issue of seeking certification from the Registrar and to allow a party to use its own register of members from its own party headquarters. If you are listed as a member of ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, this was on consequential amendments to the Elections Act but was hinged on the other amendment on Clause 22. I, therefore, wish to withdraw it since it will have nowhere to sit.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I will be very brief. I think the only reason Hon. Duale was raising that issue, and I am well guided on what you are saying in terms of the Order Paper and the Communication you are to give, is because we are in a House of records. When a Paper is laid, it becomes a record of the House and we will stand guided by your Communication. It is also worth noting that I got a communication from some Members of the Committee that there is also a minority report and I want to ...
