Comment
Section 11 of the Election Campaign Financing Act 2013 provides that the sources of funds for purposes of financing party nomination, election or referendum campaign are—
| (a) | contributions received from any person, political party or any other lawful source; |
| (b) | contributions from a lawful source, not being directly from a foreign government; and |
| (c) | contributions from a harambee. |
The only prohibition that is also provided for in Section 14 of the same Act is that a candidate, a political party or a referendum committee shall not receive any contribution or donation, in cash or in kind from the State, a State institution or agency or any other public resource.
