    "content": "When it comes to fund allocation criteria and I support them, the Committee observed that the revenue allocated to political parties fund is based on the criteria adopted by the National Treasury where out of the total revenue received and audited, allocations are first made on the public debt which we have no problem with, made on pensions, constitutional salaries, county government, Parliament, Judiciary, constitutional commissions and the balance is used to determine allocation to political parties. This often results to underfunding of political parties. Kenya is a political party democracy. You cannot have this House inaugurated without political parties doing their nominations and then on the basis of their nominations on a list submitted to IEBC, the citizens elect leaders who will sit in this House. So, why do you make the payment to political parties at the bottom of your list? It is not fair. I am sure we will agree and the Cabinet Secretary, National Treasury will listen to the recommendation of the Committee."
