    "content": "It is upon this House to make sure that the amount of money we get is accounted for. That is why the JP has serious offices with staff at our national office here. We have over 12 directors working with staff 24/7 for the party. Nobody, including the President who is our party leader, pays a coin. It is this fund that pays. It is the same for the ODM. The ODM had a small agreement with these small parties. It depends with if the ODM is magnanimous. The law is not saying it is a must for the ODM to give some little pennies to the WDM-K, FORD-K or the ANC. It is out of goodwill, ODM can say “ naweza kuwapa hii bakshishi ”. For us, the ones who have joined us have no choice. We had no agreement with them. We have 175 Members. That is enough. Let us look at what happened when it comes to underfunding. It is good to say it here. The ODM filed a judicial review application against the National Treasury, the National Assembly and the Registrar of Political Parties seeking payment of funds due to the party for three financial years though statutory allocation provisions of 0.3 per cent of national revenue. This is where I want to tell the CS for the National Treasury that he cannot play around with resources given to political parties. That judicial review by the ODM was right. You have no discretion. It is the law or the Constitution that gave us this money. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
