    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank all those who have made presentations. When it comes to compliance, one of the regulations is that you must have a minimum of 24 offices across the 47 counties. That tells you that for you to go through that compliance you are not a village party. At the same time, you must have a minimum of 1,000 members in every county. So, for you to comply for registration, you must be a political party of national nature. Parties like FORD (K), UDF, Wiper and APK have so many Members of Parliament. They are not village parties. It is, indeed, important to note that this is taxpayers’ money and they should access funding for purposes of growth. This is not yet a mature democracy like US, UK and all the other democracies. Even in the US, research shows that there are about 5,100 political parties. When you go to the UK, there are 33 political parties that are very active."
