Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want to raise a point here and I need your guidance. We are guided by Standing Order No.175. What we are doing is clear. If you read Standing Order No. 175 (2), it is very clear. You cannot alter the names or add! What is required is that we withdraw the entire list and then it comes to the House later. Please, we need you guidance on this. It is very clear in Standing Order No.175! It does not allow amendments to the list. What can be done is to withdraw the list from the House ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, first, we ought to be very careful as a nation. I am very reluctant to support this amendment on the use of waiting cards, in the sense that if we go for elections and the results are very narrow and close, somebody can go to court and challenge the elections; that so-and-so has won this election because the people who voted did not have the original identity cards. So, let us be very careful with what we are proposing today, because it is possible that some waiting cards will be made in River Road. If they ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other issue is on political party membership. Why did we create the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties? This was created because politicians, party leaders and chairmen of parties were not able to manage the exercise of party elections. This office was created so that there could be a fair playing field, so that when we go for nominations, it is done fairly and everybody is satisfied. It was not created because we were running the political party affairs peacefully without complaints. I have gone through a party nomination process where I won the ...
