    "content": "I think we need to support the Registrar who has been very supportive without looking at the political party’s biasness. She has always been partial to all of us and I think it is important that we support her office and what she is doing. We should push Treasury to release the Fund and ensure that it follows the formula that was given. This was a formula that was passed through law and if they want to respect the law, then this is the right time. They must respect the law and release the Fund as it is in the Act. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Constitution is also very strong on political parties and that is why political parties have powers to de-whip parliamentarians and even send them back for a by-election if they feel that you are not doing the right thing. The Fund will assist citizens to continue understanding that we have political parties. Right now if you ask citizens about the parties, they only know Jubilee and CORD. They have forgotten that there were parties within those coalitions. It is important for us to remind Kenyans that the parties are still there and that they are institutions we should respect. They are no-longer vehicles to bring an individual to the House, but they have powers to ensure that you toe the line of the party. I beg to support."
