    "content": "I will give you an example. The Political Parties Fund is divided into three ways. 70 per cent of the funds go to political parties on the basis of the votes their members garnered in any election, whether it is a Member of County Assembly (MCA), Woman Representative and everybody else. If you contest as an independent candidate and win like Hon. Fatuma and Hon. Toroitich, you do not get a share of those funds, yet the votes of whom they defeated were added to those in the tally of the political parties. They run and fail, but they are compensated for that. That is how unfair it is. We must therefore, look at this Bill and expand the scope of political party funding to independent candidates as well, so that there is one level playing field."
