    "content": "in Kenya. Those of us who live here understand that, but those who live elsewhere may not understand that. If we want to develop political parties and give choices to the people of Kenya, it must be choices that are based not on tribe or strong individuals who can fund political parties, but on the basis of build up ideological positions. That is simply what I am saying. I believe that that is what Kenyans would like to see. For too long, we have used political parties as buses by which we travel to Parliament or the county assemblies. I think we have got an opportunity in our hands to make these amendments, to try and address the mischief that currently exists and the gaps that exist as far as political party construction in Kenya is concerned. Therefore, I want to urge Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, now that the Bill belongs to the House, that we engage ourselves in serious debate on this matter, we also engage Members of the National Assembly and engage leaders of political parties. When I talk about political parties, I am talking about the political parties that are represented in Parliament and in the county assemblies so that we get an opportunity. I want to believe that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is up to the task of consulting and accepting that there are some areas that we are going to have to compromise about so that we can end up with a serious political landscape in Kenya. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
