    "content": "Hon. Members, our case is not different from those cited above. To begin with, public funding of political parties is provided for under the Political Parties Act, 2011. Specifically, Section 31 requires political parties to keep proper books and records of account of the income, expenditure, assets and liabilities related to their operations. Further, political parties shall, within three months after the end of each financial year, submit to the Auditor-General their accounts in respect of that year for auditing and onward submission to the Registrar of Political Parties and tabling before the National Assembly. Notably, the Registrar of Political Parties may at any time request the Auditor-General to carry out an audit of the accounts of a political party. Generally, all audited accounts of public funds are examined in the National Assembly by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). However, as stated by some of the Members who spoke on 21st April, it is evident that the Committee is currently overwhelmed by the examination of all the other funds."
