    "content": "speaks from experience about parties--- Looking at the way the drafting has been done, there is need for a preliminary report to go to the parties. Some benefit is supposed to be derived from being members of the party. The Member bringing the amendment seems to be really pessimistic about political parties. My plea to him is that as we move forward and as we look at the law on political funding we are going to have, by the time of the election--- I know this particular Parliament has not been able to give any funds to political parties. There were no enough funds in the last budget and the matter went to court and so the parties have not received their funding. But as we go closer to the elections and with the percentage that is marked in that law, the political parties are going to have sufficient funding to take care of these logistical matters. The matters now remain logistical nightmare because the parties are incapacitated in many ways. So, there are other laws coming that will secure and protect parties. So, Eng. Gumbo, you could kindly withdraw your amendment so that we consider the one of 21 days. That would be a better way to move."
