The National Assembly Deputy Speaker Moses Cheboi this morning rejected proposed amendments to the Political Parties (Amendment) Bill No.56 of 2021 that sought to remove the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties and establish the Political Parties Registration Board and the Office of Chief Executive Officer of the Board.

The proposals had been submitted by Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wa, Kilifi North MP Owen Baya and Dagoretti South MP John Kiarie.
