    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this chance. When you retreat to make your ruling, it is important that you refer to the ruling you made when we were discussing political party coalitions. You made the ruling that you made because Azimio-One Kenya Alliance could not be put together. They could not be clearly understood. That coalition, therefore, does not exist per se. It is neither here nor there. That ruling will, therefore, help and guide you in making this particular one. Two, the rights of an individual to association, political rights, and other rights cannot be taken away by coalitions that we enter into. To purport that by joining a particular political party, you completely lose your rights and you can be meddled with despite existence of the Constitution, is a matter that I would want you to look at when you will be making your ruling. Lastly, it is not correct for coalitions which we enter into come to the Floor of the House and purport to completely take away our rights. Parliament is known to make fair laws for Kenyans. How could it happen that the Standing Orders of Parliament would be so unfair to allow individuals not be listened to and be directed like cows? Allow me to use it the way the Azimio-One Kenya Alliance is directing."
