• 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Indeed, I am a philanthropic Chairman in terms of ensuring that the voices of the people are heard in this House; particularly those who have stayed to support this Bill.

So, mergers are anticipated in the principle Political Parties Act as it exists. So, there is nothing that we are doing here that is not in the principle Act.

It is just that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and the Attorney-General (AG) failed to propose a referendum law. We have asked them to ... view
