Political Parties funding delay is not
intentional, says registrar
The Delay
in disbursing the Political Parties funding is not intentional at all, the
office of the Registrar of Political Parties has said.
The
Registrar of Political Parties John Cox Lorionokou says since he got into office
in October last year, the office has been making requisition for the Political
Parties funding to the National Treasury just as they make request for the
funds the office uses in a given financial year.
Addressing
the press in Kisumu today during an introductory meeting with Kisumu County
Political Parties Leaders and other stakeholders, the Registrar of Political
Parties said once the requests for political parties funds are approved by the
National Treasury then his office will disburse them immediately to the various
registered political parties.
Lorionokou
says the funds are disbursed quarterly, adding that currently there are a total
of 96 registered political parties across the country.
He adds
that there are 30 Political Parties which are waiting in the process of
registration.
The
Registrar of Political Parties says Political Parties should be founded on the
issue of National Values and Principles as well as on good Governance.
He adds
that the issue of inclusion should also be within the various political
parties, adding that his office is working with various political parties to
strengthen their organs.
He says the
issue of honesty and patriotism should also be enhanced, adding that the issue
of dishonesty has been one of the problem the country faces.
Various stakeholders
have challenged the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties to have a
constructive dialogue with various political parties across the country.
