Members of Parliament have emphasised the importance of fairness in the electoral process while contributing to the motion tabled by NUDO's MP, Josef Kauandenge.

The debate was regarding discrimination against regional councils, local authority employees, and civil servants who wish to participate freely in parliamentary elections after resigning from their previous services. The Deputy Minister of Works and Transport, Veikko Nekundi, argued that it is unfair to require elected Members of Parliament to resign from their employment before they are officially sworn in as MPs.
