    "content": "Article 88(4) demands that we have that kind of law enacted by the august House and we are basically living up to our constitutional duty. Having said that, even our political parties have to be more accountable, be genuine and live within the spirit of this law and Constitution if we have to achieve that. For instance, we know that some political parties get foreign funding. We have heard of regime change and all these other funny theories that these donors and civil society activists always come up with during the election period. They say that they are for human democracy, accountability and transparency. Of course, they keep on coming up with new phrases every other year. Most of the time this is not in the interest of this country but sometime it is. Hon. Speaker, Sir, limiting foreign funds in our campaigns is very important so that we can make our own decisions within our parameters as much as possible. The truth of the matter is, whether it is at the constituency level or the national level, there are some elements of foreign funding in our campaigns and elections. This Bill tries to curtail or control that. I hope that the system will work in order for us to achieve the objective of this Bill.
