    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion on funding of political parties. We have come from dark days where there was no democratic space. During the KANU era, chama cha baba na mama, we only knew of one political party. I see an Hon. Member getting agitated, but that is the truth. During the dark days, people were never given space to exercise their democratic rights. Now that we have political parties, we cannot run the parties on air. They are like institutions. They require funds just like ministries. Without money in a ministry, there will be zero performance and equally with political parties. There are people who are employed in these political parties. Parties provide employment opportunities. These people are employed up to the grassroots levels and need to be paid. There are activities that need to be run in various parties at the grassroots level."
