"content": "saw what happened. Kenyans are still suffering. Some are still in hospital and some are still lost. That is why I concur with the person who talked of discipline in our parties. More needs to be done to streamline and ensure that political parties behave well and conduct their campaigns properly. In fact, I want to say that KANU was better than what is happening now. During KANU, you could not see the number of deaths we are seeing now and the sufferings Kenyans are going through now. Kenyans are funding these political parties but they are still being run by individuals. If you go to the ODM, you cannot do it without the party leader. Even this one of ours, the Jubilee Party, you cannot do without the political leader on the other side. So, what is the use of having these political parties? In fact, it is better to have an individual running it and we just sing the chorus of that person and forget about these other things. Otherwise, I thank the Committee through the Chair who is with us here. He is a good guy. I also want to echo what the EFP did. Where the EFP conducted their campaigns, you cannot read in the newspapers that people lost their lives. It is better to go for these small parties than these big ones where they are rotten as they move round. I end there and ask that we improve and support these small parties. They can do better than others. Thank you."
