    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. As has been read out by the Clerk-at-the-Table, you will realise that part of the money being allocated under this Vote is going towards political parties. Indeed, all our parliamentary political parties are public entities that are funded by the taxpayers. I was hoping the Chair of the Special Funds Accounts Committee or the Chair of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) would be in this House because I have checked, and many of our political parties, as much as we are appropriating resources and giving them taxpayers' money, are not being accountable in the manner in which they are utilising the taxpayers' money. It is only the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) that has been filing their returns and accounting for how they spend taxpayers' money. My own political party, Jubilee, for the last three years, has never filed any returns. We must be a House that appropriates resources and does the work that has been mandated under the Constitution to oversee Government and even those resources that we allocate to political parties where we are beneficiaries as Members or Parliament."
