I would also like to move a further amendment to the further amendment moved by the Member for Kibra. Rather than make it “twenty per cent” my proposal is “thirty per cent”. The reason for thirty per cent is that even in any shareholding, if somebody owns more than a third of you then he or she really owns you. I think the intent of this is to stop candidates from being owned by people and, therefore, held captive after elections to the whims of those people. You can increase it to thirty per cent because if they do not ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, when I contributed earlier, I indicated my intention to move an amendment to subclause “b”. You refrained me saying that we should, at that point, just focus on the percentage, which I much obliged. However, before I realised it, you moved to the next one. I had indicated The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

explicitly my intention to move an amendment. I had indicated that I needed to consult with the Chair and you refrained me and said that from now, we should deal with the issue of percentage and then come back and deal with the others.

I was very clear that I was consulting on the issue of NGOs as to the exact of the amendment I was going to be moving. In the event that we passed it, I will then be seeking a recommittal.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I would like to support the amendment as proposed by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee. Earlier on I was a bit hesitant in this thing of giving money back to the party because many of our parties do not really give you money. However, after the explanation that you actually get mileage from your party--- By just being in that party you actually get mileage. I do support that you actually give anything left, but I also support this in view of the fact that really for you to have surplus in a campaign, you ...

not think it will occur, but there will be surplus. It is not bad to have a safety net in case you have the surplus to return it.

On the amendment being raised by hon. Musimba, the independent candidate, in aiming at retaining the money--- I think the spirit is that this is money that you have received from elsewhere. These are donations and they are supposed to be for the campaign. Now, when you retain such money and use it for yourself, it is not right. So, I think this is really the thing.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I agree. I am just looking at subclause 6. Is it not part of this other process of dispute resolution so that other measures can be taken before you are actually disqualified? I am wondering whether this should not be part of what is covered under what we have just passed where there is a process of establishing these processes and being subjected to the graduated system of discipline. I know I have just discussed that because that particular amendment is not with us. I do not know how that applies, but I will give it ...
