    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Allow me to thank the Hon. Deputy Leader of the Minority Party for supporting the Appropriations Act. That is the spirit of democracy where you give and take. He has raised a very important point. Political Parties are the anchor of democracy in this Country and that anchor can never be destroyed. If we destroy these political parties, the anchor for democracy, this country will have no direction. It is important to fund political parties because failure to, we will not have strong anchors for our democracy to move this country forward. As I support the idea of re-instituting these funds into the budget, it is imperative for political parties to put important structures to run them as they are supposed to. As Hon. Wandayi takes that trajectory in moving forward and supports the budget, the budget has two phases. One is the incomes and second is the outflows. As you support this, also support the revenue raising measures so that we have enough money to fund the budget and political parties. You cannot celebrate because we have budgeted for political parties and frown upon revenue raising measures. I would like him to go on record that he supports the revenue raising measures for this country to enable us fund political parties. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
