This is what some one wants in his Unconstitutional and Illegal Bill 7.
To move with cabinet all the way to elections, and only dissolve it like what his Malawian friend has done..a few hours before elections!
Then there is that ‘ bizarre ‘ clause , brewed in the Mingalatoon’s Pot, on the filing of Nomination papers by Independent candidates…
Independent candidates should declare their interest to participate in elections 30 days before nomination day. ..The trick is to adopt candidates less than 30 days before nomination, so that would be Independent candidates frustrated by their parties do not have anywhere to go apart from supporting the party adopted candidates! And goal keepers at ECZ will off course sharpen their ‘Onana’ Skills to ensure that no loose Balls are allowed to pass through the Nomination Goal posts!
