We should have a committee or people to advise them on how to use the money. When some of the people get their lump sum, they remarry. You will find that some of them have about five wives and they are not able to keep them. We should have some people trying to tell them how to invest the money they have been given.

I agree that this Bill is properly before this House and therefore we should streamline it so that people do not suffer the way they have been suffering. I support the Bill.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity. At the outset, I want to talk about this audited report on revenue. They have done a good job. I thank the Committee for having come up with this Report.

First, it is true that money given to the political parties... I disagree that it should be based on revenue given. That means 0.03 per cent should be from the revenue received from the National Treasury rather than after the expenses. It is very little money. In fact, I belong to the second oldest party in this country and there is no dispute. The FORD-K is the second oldest party in this country after KANU and I stand to be challenged here. Of course, other coalitions have come. As the oldest party, I quite agree that we should, first and ...

Therefore, the 0.3 per cent is very little. I am just looking at page 17 out of curiosity to see the allocation of the funds. The first one is Jubilee which is given the stated amount.

I, therefore, take exception on table five on the distribution of the Fund in the Financial Year 2017/2018. The first one is Jubilee. I agree. The second ...

Secondly, I want to say that we should have this habit of money going to individual parties not belonging to the leader of that particular political party so that we have regular audit, as the Committee has made it very clear. This is public money. I was sent by my party, FORD- K to look for money in West Germany, which money came in and that money does not belong to the party leader. It belongs to the party. Therefore, the Committee is right. There must be regular auditing of the money that is received.

I have not been informed because I know the full facts. I am the chairman of my political party in Trans Nzoia County and I am one of the oldest members of that political party and as I said, FORD Kenya is the second oldest party in this country after KANU. There is no dispute. Therefore, I know what I am talking about. We deposited our agreement with the Registrar of Political Parties and that is why NASA took part in the last general elections. I just want to agree with you that, maybe, somebody somewhere went behind our backs ...
