    "content": "When we are making some of these laws, we also need to consider the youth. They finish the university or O-Level when they are 25 years of age. I will bring an amendment to this House to reduce the required experience from 10 to five years, so that we consider the youth. On the Political Parties Fund, I agree with my colleague that those who are elected as independent candidates need to be considered. We also want other countries to come and benchmark here. We need to come up with a structure which considers them because they deserve these funds. They incur expenses too. We need to come up with a structure where independent candidates benefit from the Political Parties Fund. After elections, coalitions are formed. There are a lot of problems in sharing these funds. This is another field that we need to consider. This Bill can solve that problem once and for all. If there is a coalition and it breaks up, as it is happening now, it becomes a problem to some of the small parties inside the coalition to get their share. When the big party shares with other small parties, and they are not on the same political line, it becomes a problem. I will come up with an amendment to address this issue. I want this Bill to solve this problem once and for all. This is a good Bill which I support. I want it to see the light of the day, so that it can solve problems in this country. I congratulate the Mover of the Bill. Kenyans need to think the way the Mover of this Bill thinks. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
