    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill. I thank the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for donating to me the two minutes, so that my voice can also be on the HANSARD. Constitutionally, we are a multi-party democracy. Parties play a very important role in how governance is practised. I would like to urge that when we go to the Committee of the whole House stage, we should improve this law to help transform the way parties are managed. In this country, only the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party conducts elections. We cannot have parties being run by appointed people. This law should promote true democracy in political parties to ensure that parties are owned by the people because they are funded by the people. All parliamentary parties are funded by taxpayers and, therefore, they must pay attention to the wishes of the taxpayers as opposed to the wishes of those who claim to own them. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support."
