    "content": "For our democracy to thrive, the political parties are the main tools through which the elected representatives are selected. Democracy, as a Government of the people, thrives through representative leaders who are elected by the people. For the elected leaders are elected to thrive, then these political parties through which they are selected must be strong enough and should have a good foundation. They must have branches and offices, so that they are able to serve the Members. They must also be able to carry out the nominations. If we are to succeed in ensuring that those branches and offices are strong, then these parties need to have adequate funding. Therefore, as we build our democracy which is still young, we really need to strengthen not only the funding but also the institutional capacity of these parties that exist, so that they are run properly."
