    "content": "much as we might have many things to say, these parties did provide the framework for democratic competition to all of us here. You belong to a political party and the Deputy Speaker belongs to a political party. All of us belong to a political party. Therefore, it is important and incumbent that these parties are supported to be able to discharge their obligations under the Constitution, and meet the levels of accountability and expectations of the Kenyan public in terms of the discharge of the functions and objects of these parties. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I can see that the Senate Majority Leader is also here. It is incumbent upon him to walk out of this Senate and go and urge that Government that he represents very competently or ably here, that it is important that if they want to honour their obligations under this Constitution, they must ensure that this money is released to political parties with immediate effect. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Mover of this Motion. I think that this Senate is seized of matters that improve us, as a State. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those many remarks, I beg to second this Motion and urge my fellow Senators to support it, so that we can guarantee funding, which is not a privilege or discretion, but a right that accrues to all our political parties."
