    "content": "The point that I am trying to make, which is very important, is that there has to be clarity on the way we handle disputes. I am saying this because some Members have taken disputes to courts of law while others have taken them to the Political Parties Tribunal. The outcomes are varied. Some have been rejected, making matters worse. There is need to clarify this. The merger of political parties attempts to ensure that members who wish to move with parties are protected so that they are not said to have left their political parties. However, we are comfortable the way we are in our coalition. We do not have a problem because we do not want to merge. We want to strengthen our political parties. We need more measures put in place to ensure that, for example, my party, FORD(K) where I am the Chairman for Bungoma County and I am looking forward to being the national Chairman in the near future is strengthened and properly funded. The way we envisage these political parties is likely to form governments when they get to power. So, we need to give them sufficient funding and adequate support to ensure that they enhance democracy. The ODM is one of the most democratic parties in the country. We need to ensure that such parties are properly funded. With those few remarks, I support."
