• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am afraid I am not going to support this particular one for the principal reason that the IEBC has to follow many laws. Already, there have been a lot of efforts to codify the electoral laws into a small set of laws, for example the Elections Act and the Political Parties Act.
