On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I would really appreciate if the Attorney-General would listen, because this is addressed to his last amendment. I am very comfortable with the amendment as proposed, but I would want the Attorney-General to address himself to the issue of inclusion of the JSC, because I am informed that the magistrates are seeing that as conflict of interest. Therefore, I was actually more inclined to the earlier amendment that did not have---

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I just wish to seek your direction in relation to this amendment. Could the Attorney-General clarify? If you look at section 5, it says:- “Insert the following new sub-section immediately after sub-section 4 “all nominations and appointments under this section shall”. So, shall what? What are we amending? Could we get a clarification on what that is?

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Before we go into the amendments, I just wanted a clarification from the Attorney-General in relation to Section 35(1). If you look at Section 35(1), you will appreciate that it is a mirror of the parent Act, except for a sub-section that shall come into commencement separately from the Act. So, perhaps, he could just explain this, so that we can have an informed debate on the proposed amendments.

Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the Constitution in the Schedule, I cannot remember which Schedule, actually clarifies the way you compute days. If it falls within a public holiday, it will not be affected.

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Is the hon. member in order to mislead the House that those who are opposing have changed parties? I have only been a member of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM). I have never changed and I vehemently oppose.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I would really like to raise an issue of concern. Hon. Dr. Nuh has several amendments which he is dealing with all at once. In some of those amendments, we are not even aware of what we are passing. I think we will realise tomorrow that we do not know what we are passing. We need to look at those amendments one by one. We need to be informed of what we are passing.

We do not want to come back later and start giving excuses that we passed things in a hurry at midnight. Even if we are passing them at midnight, we need to know what we are passing at midnight.

Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, in opposing, I want to thank hon. Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o for reading the Constitution and giving the correct position. Indeed, today, I was actually shocked when I heard my very able Chairman whom I deputize, hon. Abdikadir, indicating that while we are legislating on the Political Parties Act, we are free to do whatever, say, legislate in, out, left, right, centre and so on. We cannot do that! We have to legislate as per the law. I was even shocked to hear hon. Isaac Ruto suggest that he can be the women’s representative. We must regulate as ...
