    "content": "In the Principal Bill, the Political Parties Fund is divided as follows: Total vote count gets 80 per cent, the number of candidates from special interests gets 15 per cent and 5 per cent for Fund administration. In the proposed Bill, 70 per cent goes to the number of total votes cast in the general elections, 15 per cent is to the special interest groups, 10 per cent to elected representatives and 5 per cent to Fund administration. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we must look at the realm of developing parties, enhancing democracy and building on it. If we want to grow parties, like that of Hon. Wamunyinyi, if they do not bring an elected Member to any forum but they get so many votes, why should they not get any funds? In my judgment as a legislator, this Clause is discriminatory and it must not just be passed in view of the fact that people have already cast their position on this. For that reason, I beg to move. This particular amendment must be rejected."
