Munyori Buku, the external Communications Director at the Presidential Strategic Communications Unit, moved to set the record straight over the source of money that Jubilee used to campaign in Kericho and Malindi, saying the ruling coalition was using funds given to its political parties.

“The two parties in Jubilee – URP and TNA – were using funds from the Political Parties Fund, which awards funds depending on the number of MPs each side has,” said Buku.

According to Section 24 (1) (a) of the Political Parties Act, parties are entitled to at least 0.3% of the total revenue collected by the National Government in a year.

In the last allocation, TNA got KSh 89.3 million, ODM KSh 87.4 million while URP was given KSh 28.2 million.
