    "content": "On the Political Parties Act, I do not know how they will implement that a party that has a certain number of special interest group members, elected members of county assemblies or Members of Parliament will get 20 per cent of the Political Parties Fund. I do not know how practical that is. It is important it remains the way it is. Sometimes even if you want to have that, you may end up with only one or two elected people of special interest group. What percentage of the funds will be allocated to them? It may happen that the political party will only have one or two people. Will you then take 20 per cent of the Political Parties Fund and give it to the political party with one or two people from the special interest group? I do not know how practical that is. It is important for the Chair of the Committee to look at the reality of things when it comes to some of these proposals. Twenty per cent of about Kshs4.1 billion is a lot of money. It is important for the Chair to look at how practical it is that a party with the most elected special interest group Members is allocated 20 per cent of the Political Parties Fund. That will bring a lot of issues because some of the minorities may be at the Coast and not in Rift Valley."
