    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. My argument is that for political parties to exist, they must have offices in at least 25 counties. Usually, they present candidates for Parliament, county assemblies and governorship. Instead of the threshold being five Members of Parliament as proposed by my brother, we should stipulate that it should be one Member of Parliament. What normally happens during an election is that after these parties have presented candidates, there are those who will go through and those who may not go through. In my party, we presented candidates throughout the country, but I am the only one who managed to go through. I am serving Kenyans as an elected leader. Many other parties are entitled to Kenyan taxpayers’ money just like other parties that qualified to have Members in the National Assembly. I propose an amendment to Hon. Chris Wamalwa’s amendment."
