    "content": "groups. In most cases, political parties tend to sideline people with special needs. You will see women, youth, minorities and PWDs being sidelined during decision-making. It is high time we adopted this amendment, so that during political campaigns, all these groups are included. In many cases, special interest groups are not valued in decision-making bodies. They are appointed to boards, agencies and public institutions. They are not given any opportunity to make decisions. So, it is high time we implemented this amendment. Under the Political Parties Act, when it comes campaigns funding, special interest groups are normally looked down upon. They are not funded and political parties expect them to perform well or to get the positions. The amendment provides that political parties are supposed to submit the framework of their expenditure within the period of one financial year and this will bear fruit. Political parties will take care of the special interest groups and manage them, both in the national Parliament and in county governments."
