    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support this Report on the audited financial statements for the political parties fund for the year ending June 2017. I want to point out that political parties in Africa are personalised and they do not have funding. The main problem with lack of institutionalisation of these political parties is lack of funding. Therefore, most of the politicians or individuals who register political parties become the main source of funding of these political parties. Therefore, the decision, especially the passage of the Political Parties Act and the provision of those funds to the parties that qualify, was a welcome move. However, we need to support and strengthen more in terms of continued funding within the 0.3 per cent requirement. At the same time, it would be important to increase this funding, especially for those parties that meet the requirements. 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."
