    "content": "with a wing called the disability wing of the coalition so that people with disability who definitely participate in politics are able to be funded by political parties and are able to run their affairs and those of their parties. Lastly, I want to suggest and ask that we ask the registrar and the political parties to make sure that there is capacity building of the parties. In this country we are dependent on the National Democratic Institute (NDI) and other donors. You have seen so many times that any time we are talking about issues politics in this country we are actually looking at the NDI and State University of New York (SUNY) to support political parties in this country. We look at the National Endowment for Democracy in the United States of America and many other political affiliations and huge think tanks who come to support our parties on the ground. It is the role of political parties themselves to build capacity for their people. I support the Member who said that political parties need to just go beyond expecting funding. We need to look at how we can own property. We can find ways of generating income to support our various people who want to participate in the political process. I agree with this Report and I really want to thank the Chair. We took some time to discuss an issue that affects everybody in this country who has a keen interest in participating in the political process. Allow me to support. I thank you."
