    "content": " I do not want to restate the Constitution because it has been properly stated before you. Hon. Speaker, it has been put to you that rights have limitations, and indeed rights have limitations, but when you sit to determine the limitations under Article 36, I invite you to look at Article 24 which states the test for limitation of rights. To limit a right, a right must be limited by legislation, and that legislation must clearly state the right which is being limited. In this case, our good friends are relying on limitation under the coalition agreement. The question you will ask yourself is: can a coalition agreement limit fundamental God-given human rights? When you sit, Hon. Speaker, determine that I, Mwengi Mutuse, under Maendeleo Chap Chap and my colleague, Hon. Caleb, wish to be associated with Kenya Kwanza and that is why our numbers should be counted. We cannot be forced to be in a coalition that we do not want. Also as you sit to determine, realise that the particular… I know you have expunged it from the records and so we do not have a document speaking to the coalition agreement under the Kenya Kwanza. But I have seen in documents that the coalition agreement says that you cannot move until three months are over after elections.
