    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I rise to support the Memorandum, but I also want to agree with those who have contributed; that these are not the valid reasons. If we take this as precedence, any single individual in Kenya can paralyze this Parliament. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the reason I support the deletion is that the proposals contained in the Act which I opposed on the Floor of this House, are actually against the spirit of the Constitution. This is because when the political parties were mentioned in the Constitution and we were commanded by the Constitution to make a law to regulate political parties, it was to enhance transparency, accountability and nurture democracy. When you say that you belong to a particular party and it brings you to Parliament, and start cavorting with other political parties, you are not being accountable or promoting democracy. We need to stand up for democracy and it is for that reason that I support this amendment."
