    "content": "Therefore, the 0.3 per cent is very little. I am just looking at page 17 out of curiosity to see the allocation of the funds. The first one is Jubilee which is given the stated amount. I know that in the 2017 elections, which I took part in and I am the chairman of my political party in Trans Nzoia County, I worked very hard because we belonged to a coalition called NASA. I, therefore, take exception on table five on the distribution of the Fund in the Financial Year 2017/2018. The first one is Jubilee. I agree. The second one should have been NASA because that is the coalition that took part in 2017 and that is why we are here. Children will always quarrel with each other. I agree we have been quarrelling but we came here as NASA. Therefore, it is wrong for this Committee to have put ODM and yet it is part of the coalition. You know where I am coming from, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. All I am saying is that the percentage would have gone up. It could have received Kshs112 million, if it was a coalition of Amani National Congress (ANC), FORD-K, ODM and WDM-K. The funds would have been higher. It is out of this that I take exception. I want to be informed why when it came to distribution of the money in 2017/2018, you put Jubilee first. I have no problem because Jubilee is made up of other coalition parties. However, when it came to number two, you are talking about ODM. Why? The ODM belonged to the NASA Coalition at that time. That should be corrected. Therefore, we really expect, for the benefit of other small parties that are in the coalition, we would have got more money. It looks like it is at the whim of one party which can give or refuse to give. As it is now, WDM-K will just go there and beg. FORD-K and ANC will also go there and beg. At one stage, that allocation should be corrected because it is not ODM, it was actually NASA at that time much as we may have broken up or quarrelled. That is normal in politics. Therefore, I think that correction must be done. Chairman, now that you have come in, please let us look at that. I came here on a NASA ticket. FORD-K and many others are in the NASA Coalition.
