"content": " Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to support this Report. This country has had a lot of history regarding political parties. The new law requires serious political parties to be funded to operate. I remember one time I was a member of Martha Karua’a National Rainbow Coalition Kenya (NARC-K) Party and we used to be forced to fund the party from our pockets. Sometimes you find a political party has few Members in Parliament. I was here when we passed this law in the 10th Parliament and it is important as we encourage serious and strong political parties to also look at the small parties. As my brother, Hon. Wanyonyi, has indicated, a coalition can agree on how much can be given to a political party that has not attained the threshold of the number of Members of Parliament to be funded."
