    "content": "and parties that are formed along ethnic enclave lines, so that we compel those political parties to form alliances or to unite with others to acquire a political voice. For those reasons, we urge Members to support the mediated version of this Bill. It helps to realise and achieve the objective of the political parties we envisaged within the political parties system and also the Constitution. This objective is to ensure that we have good political parties managed along a constitutional criterion which is acceptable to many Kenyans so that people can galvanise around well- managed political parties instead of those briefcase parties. In the last election, there are only about three or four political parties that would have benefited from the Political Parties Fund. That poses the challenge to the other political parties that wish to join this list and criteria, to up their game and ensure that they improve their party philosophy, ideology, including their own internal management, so as to attract more Kenyans to join them. If they fail to do so, the penalty will be that they are not publicly funded and are left literally to their fate which is to fail. For those reasons, I support this Bill and urge Members to support it."
