Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Constitution (Amendment) Bill. What Hon. Florence proposes to be amended has no part stating that nominations should be given to numbers two or three after an election.

This Amendment Bill is proposing that instead of political parties giving their lists 45 days before an election, they should give it within 21 days after the general elections. This will put political parties in a better position to decide who to put in the party list by considering the Members who would have been elected. This is because at that time, political parties will have a list of Members elected and in terms of balancing, be it regional, gender or other minority issues, they will be in a better position to make a decision.

A political party, depending on its morality or lack of it, decides if they want to elect cronies, girlfriends or slay queens and can put them even 100 days before an election and this cannot be sorted. It should not be an issue of: if a party list is given after an election, it will be abused. If a party was to abuse that list, it will do so even before a general election. I heard a Member complaining that some nominees are brothers or girlfriends of some members despite the Constitution we have now.

I want to support this Amendment Bill because it will give an opportunity to political parties to make informed decisions after an election. Also, it will push political parties to support women who had vied for positions. We know if more women are elected in terms of the party lists being given after elections, there will be a deficit requiring more men to be nominated. This will also support women in elections. The proposal to give the party list 21 days after nominations is also advantageous because we will get to know the members who make contributions to political parties. ...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I support it and I hope no one will mislead this House that this proposed amendment is saying that number two or three candidates in an election should be the ones to be given nomination. Who knows? We are here today. Tomorrow you can be number two or three and you also wish to be nominated. It will be wrong to have a law that bars anyone who has vied from nomination. I support.
