    "content": "Article 95 of the Constitution is very clear that the National Assembly provides oversight of all the revenues and expenditures. The subsequent Article 229 of the Constitution says that if the Report of the Auditor –General has been tabled in Parliament, within a period of three months, Parliament is supposed to debate and consider the recommendations. The report by the Auditor-General on the Political Parties Fund was tabled around March. So, this Committee has done a good work. It has brought us a very good report though they can make improvement on it. I have gone through the Report and one thing I have noted is that the Jubilee Party has got the lion share of the allocation. The second largest share as per the Report is ODM. The Political Parties Act has a provision for memorandum of understanding (MOU). When we went for the elections, we had the Jubilee side and the NASA side. As per the MOU that was deposited at the Registrar of Political Parties, NASA is composed of ODM, FORD-K – the one I belong to - Wiper Party and ANC. I know the tabulation is based on the presidential votes. In this case, the tabulation based on our presidential candidate who was Raila Amollo Odinga should give a higher percentage than the allocated amount. It is, indeed, important that this matter be revisited. In this case, it is only ODM that is getting 30 per cent that comes to Kshs112 million. Jubilee has got Kshs240 million. We are questioning this. The coalition was done officially in The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
