    "content": " Thank you. I applaud the Special Funds Accounts Committee for the Report on Audited Financial Statements for the Political Parties Fund for the year ended 2017. Empowerment of political parties is empowerment in terms of democratic space in the country. The issue of political parties is very sensitive and emotive. I am drawing this to one Conservative Party life member who in his last days actually resigned and joined Labour Party. When asked why, he said it is better to die a labour than die a conservative. So, you look at the whole aspect of empowerment of political parties and you appreciate the fact that political parties should be empowered through funding. Look at the USA where we have the Democrats and Republicans, these are two bulls in the field that fundraise. They also contribute like we do. Personally, I am a member of Jubilee Party and every month we contribute something for the benefit of running its activities."
