    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I got that express understanding to reply to this Report. I thank the Members for the contributions they have given us on this Report. On the 0.3 per cent, Section 24(1) of the Political Parties Act states that, at least, 0.3 per cent of the revenue collected should be released to political parties. This money is very necessary especially to enhance democracy and strengthen political parties. The political parties should ensure that structures are in place and the parties are properly managed. Political parties, with proper financing, will be able to conduct trainings and civic education so that they can grow. Equally, I am looking at the manifestos of parties with proper financing. They would be able to share their manifestos with their constituents, so that they can understand what the parties stand for. With proper financing, we are most likely to have, at the very most, three strong and stable parties that the constituents will be relying on during elections. At the same time, we have heard about NASA and the ODM issue. During our deliberations with the Registrar of Political Parties, it came out clearly that Jubilee and ODM are the ones registered as per the Act. Some of the statements that are coming should be in-house and need to be checked within NASA and ODM."
