The Right 2 Know says it supports the
ongoing struggle for transparency on party political funding.
This as My Vote Counts is challenging
Parliament to pass a law to require political parties to disclose their
funds.
R2K National Spokesperson Murray Hunter
says the lack of transparency shown by all parties when it comes to the sources
of their funding must be challenged in the strongest way.
Hunter said: “We believe that voters
fundamentally have the right to know who is funding politicians. The fact that
political parties from across the political spectrum are receiving a large
amount of the political funding from secret sources is a huge opportunity for
corruption and is really poisonous for our electoral democracy.”
