    "content": "we will be disbanding the bodies that are mandated by our Constitution to apparently carry out the exercise of elections. Madam Temporary Speaker, the issue concerning funding for political parties is something that was supposed to have been concluded sometimes back. What has happened is that since the time of elections, a lot of political parties have been grappling with a lot of hardships, and I know several that have even been unable to pay agents who helped the parties during the elections. I also know of parties that are even unable now to pay rent for their county offices because of lack of money. So, it is important that this Motion be supported because when we talk about parties that have no finances, it becomes very difficult for democracy to be exercised by the said parties. As a result, particular individuals can get in and start financing the parties, thereby making the parties appear like personal parties. Madam Temporary Speaker, on the other item concerning the amendments to the Motion, I would also support the amendments in order to ensure that the Motion is addressed to the Treasury rather than the Registrar of Political Parties. I also support the removal of the word “immediately” because we are supposed to deliberate on the matter without apparently giving ultimatums. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, I apparently support that Motion. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
