I do support hon. Mwaura’s amendment on Clause 19 (4). The change from one month to two months to extend the time within which the final report will have to be submitted. I agree that one month may be too short. But I do not support hon. Mwaura’s other amendment deleting Clause 19 (2) (b), the requirement to register with the commission.

The Committee was thinking more in terms of the area ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. It is with a little of constraints that I have to oppose what the Member is proposing. In this law, it is being proposed for all candidates and it proposes to create a fair and level playing field for all candidates, whatever their status in life. Therefore, only in the surplus funds to try and bring in persons with disability, youth and the women; I think we will be judged very badly. It is rare that campaigns have surplus funding and the Political Parties Act, already takes care of what will happen to young ...
