    "content": " No, that is Kenya Social Congress (KSC). The KNC is one of the oldest parties. It was registered in 1982. If you ask if there is any Member of this House who is in a party that was registered in the 1990s, you will find one. This is the biggest party, and it is not a briefcase party as they purport. The party has had several leaders but even upon their exit, we still have people getting to this House through it. Even as we keep talking about funding major political parties as they call them, which I dispute, we also need to live by the true fact that the Political Parties Act gives guidelines on registration of political parties. One condition is that the political party must open a minimum of 24 active offices across the country. That means that they spend. It is actually capital intensive. Also, you must have 1,000 registered members for you to be registered. Clearly, there is a person spending to have that party registered. The funding of political parties should be commensurate with the number of Members of Parliament or the Members of County Assemblies in different assemblies and try, perhaps, to amend the Political Parties Act that any party that has sponsored 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."
