    "content": "Kisumu when he is going to reply will include this – that the 0.3 per cent should be actually the Kshs3 billion that should be given by the Exchequer. We know that political parties right now are ragtag in this country. They have no money to pay rent for the offices that they have opened. As we know, it is a requirement by law that they must open offices throughout the country, in the 47 counties. Political parties cannot pay for rent and have gone into great debts. They are not able even to pay their personnel. Recently, I read in the newspapers about political parties which had to lay-off their staff because they could not afford to pay them. I think that I saw the Senate Majority Leader here. He can help us on this, because I think that he knows the political party that I am talking about. This is very serious. We are reducing political parties to become beggars and going back to the principle of relying on briefcase owners of political parties. We might go back to the one-man rule, where people cannot have democracy. They cannot say what they want to say within their political parties because they fear that the owners of those political parties will maybe de- whip them."
