    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, you are very right. When Sen. Murungi raised the issues, I let the chips lie where they fell. It is my two colleagues who have come in with gusto, pretending to be more concerned than others. I support this Bill fully. I want the issue of maintaining 24 county offices for political parties to be rethought. It is actually unconstitutional. I want every vote to have value. Any party that can have an elected person, including Kalembe Ndile’s Tip Tip with one or two Members of the County Assemblies, on a pro rata basis should be able to benefit from a fund that is from the taxpayers’ money. How do you discriminate against the Mbus, when it has two Senators here and has even been given an opportunity and privilege to nominate a third one? They also have Members of the National Assembly, a Governor and Members of the County Assemblies and, yet they have to go through the pain of fundraising to pay even for their ordinary party meetings. This is unacceptable. We need to make the law to help parties grow. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
