    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to add my voice in support of the Political Parties (Amendment) Bill, 2016. The threshold that has been given to raise 20 MPs, three Senators, three governors and at least 40 MCAs, is one which requires seriousness. It requires a political party which is geared and ready to run this country. We have had small briefcase parties which do not have offices and are not run properly. We have had problems during nominations in political parties. It is an area which we should look into such that nominations are done fairly. Most women opt not to run for office in big political parties because they feel intimidated by the way nominations are done due to violence and misuse of resources. I support the mediated version of the Bill."
