    "content": "Thank you. You can only be Member for Suba and you cannot be the Member for Subra. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I agree with your decision because when it comes to Political Parties Act and amendments thereof, it affects mostly the management and running of political parties. Therefore, political parties have a lot of interest. Having said that, I want to start by saying that the Constitution is very clear that Kenya is a multiparty democracy. That Article of the Constitution defining the Republic clearly indicate that political parties and their management is very important. Looking at these amendments, I am aware that the primary objective of the amendments as Hon. Ababu said, was to make it easy for the formation of the JAP or Jubilee Party (JP). It is something to do with the Jubilee Party. Even if that is the objective, it has provided us with an opportunity to look at the Political Parties Act and ask ourselves whether there are areas we can bring amendments so as to help in the running of the political parties.
