    "content": "As we move forward, I am calling upon the honourable Members to amend this Political Parties Fund so that it can help other parties. Before a political party is registered, one of the requirements is to have at least 24 offices in all the 47 counties. Where are you going to get the money to run these offices in at least 24 counties? You need some money. For a political party to be registered, the requirement is that you must have membership of at least 1000 in the minimum of 24 counties. All this requires money. So, we must create a framework whereby these political parties funds can also be advanced to other parties for purposes of strengthening democracy. We are in the era of multiparty democracy. If we fund some few parties, other parties are likely to die. We are calling upon the honourable Members who are here to revisit the amendment of this Political Parties Fund because the success of the political parties today relies on this Political Parties Act."
