    "content": "I listened to some of my colleagues’ experiences in the party primaries. We expect political parties to generate political candidates who then go to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). If we do no fund the structure of how political parties generate candidates, we will end up blaming the IEBC for doing the wrong things while the mistakes were made at the political parties’ stage. I want to appeal to the Registrar of Political Parties to learn how to lobby and keep talking to Parliament for us to ensure that every year the amount of money that is supposed to go to the political parties goes there. This is so that our parties can be strong. It would be nice if Kenya had the kind of political structures that developed countries have – where we know that I am a member of Jubilee because of the following policies and things that we stand for. The only way we are going to get there is if we get the kind of funding that we need from the Government. We need to be funded by the public so that our parties can stand out and start competing on the basis of ideologies rather than on personality politics.
