Kioni said that all 48 qualifying parties have not received the funds.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Political parties have not received the first, second and third quarter funding even after the political parties dispute tribunal directed on December 6 2022 the Registrar of Political Parties to release the first quarter funding covering the period July to September 2022,&#8221; Kioni said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The funds were to be released to all qualifying parties pending the full determination of UDA application for a review of allocation formula.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sifuna accused the government of trying to cripple the opposition political parties by withholding the funds. Nairobi Senator said that President William Ruto had earlier said the funds were released.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We as secretaries-general of the qualifying parties have had a meeting with the Registrar of Political Parties and she confirmed that in fact, treasury has still not disbursed the money,&#8221; Sifuna said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When the President says that he expects a very robust opposition, he is lying to Kenyans because his actions are directed towards ensuring that they cripple political parties, especially the opposition political parties.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They spoke at a joint press conference on Friday. The entire kitty for the political parties in the 2022\/23 financial year will benefit at least 48 political parties.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/kenya\">Kenya<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
