    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First, I thank Hon. (Dr.) Eseli for bringing up this matter. Indeed, the purpose of my Bill was on the issue of political parties funding. The current sharing formula is based on the presidential votes, but we wanted to provide an alternative where if you do not use the presidential votes, you can as well use the number of seats that a political party has won in terms of the Senate, the National Assembly and the county assemblies. Political parties funding is very critical as far as the democracy of this country is concerned. This will ensure that we do not have a few individuals owning the political parties in the country. Obviously, we are interested in reviving the Bill. I do not have to personally revive it. Any other Member, like Hon. Eseli, can still pursue its revival so that we can expedite and resolve some of the problems that are likely to emerge very soon when it comes to sharing of the Political Parties Fund. Thank you."
