    "content": "Hon. Members, you will recall that during the afternoon sitting of Tuesday, 4th October 2022, I informed the House that a question had arisen on the manner of constituting the House Business Committee, especially with regard to the membership reserved for the leaders and whips of the majority party and the minority party, respectively. In guiding the House on the business to be transacted before the establishment of the House Business Committee and the manner in which the business would be moved, I indicated that a question had arisen as to who the bona fide leader of the majority party in the House is. I proceeded to allow the House to address me on this matter and gave priority to the designated Party Leaders and Whips of the Kenya Kwanza Coalition and the Azimio La Umoja - One Kenya Coalition Political Party. In the debate that ensued, Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah tabled various coalition agreements entered into by the constituent parties of the Kenya Kwanza Coalition and deposited with the Registrar of Political Parties. Hon. Silvanus Osoro also tabled letters relating to the matter, an excerpt of the minutes of the parliamentary group meeting and a list of attendees of the meeting during which the Party Leaders were elected.
