    "content": " Thank you very much. I do not disagree. Unfortunately, this is Kenya and we are talking about the laws of Kenya. I have started by saying we will have to amend the Constitution and the Act. When we have not done so, we can only say a proposal will be introduced, which we shall look at. But as far as this is concerned, I heard about tallying of votes so that you can distribute the money. Unfortunately, that is supposed to bring some equity. The money does not go to any of the persons who got those votes. It is purely a formula to determine what is fair and just when you are distributing the money. On the other hand, would we have a college of independent candidates where we would put their individual votes? If that is the case, let us amend the Constitution and this particular Act to make an accommodation. But you would still have a problem. The money to independent candidates would not go to individual members. It would have to go to the college. What will that college be? A political party? I do not know what it will be. If independent candidates, like Hon. Toroitich, get part of the money, why should I, as a member of a political party who won, also not get the money?"
