    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to ask Question No.262/2020 directed to the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Planning. (i) What is the status of the disbursement of the 3 per cent of revenue raised each financial year to fund political parties as institutions of governance established under Articles 90 and 91 of the Constitution in view of the decision of the High Court of 2016 (Judicial Review No.483 of 2016) directing the Cabinet Secretary to allocate not less than 3 per cent of national revenue to the Political Parties Fund? (ii) How much is owed to political parties which qualify for funding from the Fund and in particular, the arrears owed to the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM)? (iii) What measures has the Cabinet Secretary put in place to ensure that all pending payments to ODM and other political parties are settled, including arrears dating back to 2016/2017, 2018/19 and 2020/2021 financial years, in compliance with the said court decision? (iv) What steps is the Cabinet Secretary taking to ensure the Budget Policy Statement and other budgetary processes comply with the need to reflect this statutory requirement before submission to Parliament with respect to the next financial year?"
