    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for that Communication. As one of the leaders of the largest political parties in the country, the Secretary-General of our party has written to me on this matter. Those of us who are in the leadership will not take the statement of the Chair lightly. Through your guidance, we will ask the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs to summon the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and ask him why he is not complying with the court order. This House complies with a court order. A CS must comply with a court order. Why do we campaign and become the largest party? We do not want parties to be funded by individuals or owned by a community. We want parties that can be funded by the Exchequer at the grassroots level, the county level and national level. That was the spirit of the Constitution. The political parties are funded because we do not want big boys to sit and run parties. We want the person who is in my constituency to be paid his salary by the party. I was in ODM in 2007. We used to go to the rich and mighty in the party, even when we want to have a retreat. However, these days, a party can have its retreat, pay its employees, rent buildings and call a parliamentary group meeting because the taxpayer will pay for it. As you directed Hon. Cheptumo, the Chair of ODM and I will look into it because we are the only ones who are victims. If we get money, we can give the other parties in this House something little."
