    "content": "night. They were complaining that they went to see the Governor and could not approach him. I asked them: “Is that a problem that you should see the Governor with?” They did not know who they were supposed to see. In my opinion they should have gone to their various county representatives, so that they would then debate this in their assembly. They did not even know that the county representatives have chambers. They only knew of the Members of Parliament in the National Assembly. If the parties were funded, then we would be able to capacity build, empower and enlighten these people on the roles of the leaders. They would know who to approach and what each and every leader is supposed to be providing to the people. We would also make these parties active throughout as opposed to being active only during elections. Like the previous speaker said, when there are by-elections, the party offices are opened. You will see party cards being sold during elections and by- elections. We make these parties irrelevant, yet they are the ones that bring us to these Houses. Why do we want to kill these parties, yet during the campaigns we sell very beautiful policies? The only way we can support these policies and stand by them is if the parties are sufficiently funded and on time. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support this Motion passionately because I believe that people like me and many other nominated women gained from parties that still need support. If parties are funded, we can still empower other women to support parties that they believe have policies that make sense to them. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support."
