This Bill is enshrined in Article 27(8) and Article 81(b) of the Constitution. Whoever goes against the supreme law of the land is not only repugnant, but inconsistent with the natural laws and justice. Women are the crème de la crème of the society.

When a woman is solving a challenge, the intention is for the benefit of her family and for the benefit of the society.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion on funding of political parties. We have come from dark days where there was no democratic space. During the KANU era, chama cha baba na mama, we only knew of one political party. I see an Hon. Member getting agitated, but that is the truth. During the dark days, people were never given space to exercise their democratic rights. Now that we have political parties, we cannot run the parties on air. They are like institutions.

I support the Report that the parties should be funded. We know that 0.3 per cent of the national revenue should go to funding of political parties. Since 2013, the Government has not implemented this. Therefore, it should implement it. However, there should be checks and balances because there are some useless parties which confuse Kenyans. They do not have MCAs, Members of Parliament and no persons elected to any position. Such parties like the Thirdway Alliance should be deregistered with immediate effect because there is no value they add to the Kenyan citizen.
