Yesterday, lawyer Ananiah Mwaboza said the idea of forming a Coast-based party would remain a mirage if there was no funding. The idea of forming a new party or for existing ones to meet the registrar’s condition remains a mirage,” said Mwamboza. Yesterday, Mombasa lawyer Abubakar Yusuf said there was a lurking risk of Coast parties being de-registered for non-compliance with the regulations under the Political Parties Act. “The small parties from Coast can go back to Governor Kingi and get bankrolled if they cannot mobilise resources to enable them to comply. All small parties across the country should get funders to have life or risk being deregistered,” Prof Shauri warned.
