"content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, I support this Bill. It is important to give democracy room in all areas of this country. The big parties do not practise democracy. I talk from experience. In the last Parliament, I was rigged out in Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party and I went to United Democratic Movement (UDM). I was the only member of UDM in that Parliament. In this Parliament, it was very difficult but Kenya African National Union (KANU) that I represent in this Parliament--- We are about five or six Members here. We have a governor, two senators and several dozens of Members of County Assemblies (MCAs).

It is important to fund all parties that bring Members here, even if it is one or two Members. As has been said, big parties, the so-called two horses, do not practise democracy. They mistreat minority people. The money The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
