    "content": "I am saying this with a heavy heart because in my earlier life, 18 years ago, I was involved in a political parties strengthening programme funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). If political parties are not institutionalised, you strengthen the bureaucracy that is in a political party today, and tomorrow the owner of the party rejects your changes or closes the office and resources used go down the drain. Hon. Speaker, I want to emphasise the fact that we need a small group that looks at political parties. The Committee should not only audit the finances and practices that are there. Political parties should be democratised and institutionalised. We can then talk about institutionalisation of political parties in the Republic of Kenya and move away from PPPs."
