We are on the spending limits. The Committee proposed the above limits. These factors were thought to influence the amount of money that candidates spend. For example, those now vying in counties would spend more than those vying in single member constituencies.

So, all these factors would be used to decide the spending limits for each election and each candidate in terms of the different batches of elections, namely, presidential, governor, senator and all that. Hon. Temporary Deputy ...

Members that we spent a lot of time discussing this part of spending limits; so we hope that we have captured the aspirations of the hon. Members and other candidates.
