Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, thank you. It is a bit confusing again. We have literally dropped all the amendments proposed by the Chair of the Committee. His amendment has been lost in respect of that particular clause. Again, bringing these amendments is to me taking us to unchartered territories. Hon. Osotsi is my very good friend. However, I want him to appreciate that the Registrar of Political Parties and the IEBC would already be seized with the constitution of that party, decision-making process of that party and, therefore, we are literally overburdening the legislative framework or process in respect of ...

Personally, I come from a county where we suffered so much. We got wrong people, flower girls and people who did not even support the party but we swallowed it and accepted and moved on. We are hoping that the next time we go for nominations or preparing the party list, we will get the right people who support the party. Purely on a matter of principle, I ask for forgiveness because I have to oppose but I stand to oppose this amendment.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I also support the deletion as Hon. Oluoch has stated. The electioneering process begins when a candidate expresses interest. It should be discriminatory.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the amendment in view of the fact that it complies with Article 100 of the Constitution of Kenya, but I am left wondering. One, I am not so sure whether women, being the majority in this country, still constitute a special interest group. They are probably a special interest group in the sense that they are a domineering interest group. In that case, we then allow it to go. Secondly, on the issue of ethnic and other minorities, I keep stating and I have no apologies to make, that it is a matter of ...
