    "content": " First, the amendment that has been proposed by the Leader of the Majority Party has already passed. Secondly, I do not know the narrative I am seeing, where political parties want to run away from the Registrar of Political Parties. This Office of the Registrar of Political Parties was created purely for the purposes of political parties. If that office is not going to regulate parties and look at what parties are doing, then we shall abolish that office. We should remove it. To make it worse, that office is independent. I have keenly listened to Hon. Duale. Political parties are like membership clubs. You are supposed to have members in your party. If a party does not have a membership, maybe its only membership is Members of Parliament (MPs) and not the ordinary people, why do we call that a political party? We must bring hygiene and order to our political parties. Our political parties receive funds from the Exchequer. They use public funds to operate. It will not be good if we do not make our parties function within the law. Hon. Duale, I do not know why you have not formed your party. You should have formed one by now. Wachana na kufuata hii UDA. That one belongs to someone. So, let us have political parties that make sense in this country. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
