What is he trying to tell the House?"

"content": " Hon. Caroli, an Independent comes in as an independent. Even if there are 20 or 30 of them, there is no thread that combines them, because everybody comes from a different constituency. Exactly as Hon. Toroitich puts it, he became an independent, not because he wanted to, but because he was thrown out of the party that he wished to contest in. It is a way of saying, this political party does not think I have the popular support on the ground. If they cannot pick me as their candidate, I will teach them a lesson and go in as an independent candidate and invariably, most of the time, win the seat. They can have a development manifesto but, for instance, what is the political policy for the independent candidates right now. Do they have a common political policy?"

If there are any ideologies, there are 30 different ideologies. The fund does not fund individuals. It only funds political parties. There is nothing illegal about it because it is provided for in the Constitution and in an Act of Parliament. For instance, if we were to fund members of the political parties, it goes into funding individual members. Now, that is where the problem would be. But there is absolutely no provision anywhere that any member of a political party, who is a Member of Parliament, would benefit from this party. There is no such thing. It is not provided for."
