Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, everyone who is still in this House today, and was here last week, is clearly aware of what is happening. Our friends and foes are passing a law that will affect them. That particular clause was to assist political parties to become better in terms of civility. However, we have Members here who believe that they must deliver what their masters want. I withdraw my amendment to that particular clause.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, what we are promoting here is not representation. We are promoting equity through representation. That is why I am proposing we add the words, “through representation” immediately after the word “promote” so that it reads: “promote equity representation in Parliament and county assemblies.” If we look at the different categories of representatives mentioned there, we are talking about the word equity. The word “equity” is missing. So, we are not promoting representation, we are promoting equity by picking relevant numbers of people of different categories so that they may represent in this particular case.

I have also proposed some amendment in Section 4B, which speaks about several reservation of the name, symbol and slogan. I propose we add the dominant colour of the party. Parties are identified by colours. A party like ODM is identified by orange, Jubilee Party is identified by red, and Wiper Democratic Movement is identified by white. If we leave the words “dominant colour”, there is a likelihood that people will take other parties’ colours, later on and this will bring confusion. We want to identify a congregation by its colours. Any meeting that we shall have out there or ...
