    "content": "As much as it is not my business to bring together the parties within the Azimio Coalition, I know that as individual Members, we have our own conscience to guide us in making a choice. Therefore, I implore the leadership of the Minority Party to bring together all the parties in the Azimio Coalition, sit together and arrive at an amicable solution to this matter. This is because even going to court to resolve party matters in a coalition is not right. Some Members here were in this House when Bills on political party coalitions were pushed here. We know many Members who were forced into the Azimio Coalition against their will. Therefore, understandably, with all the coercion that happened in the last regime, there are Members who may feel that they are not in the right place. We must understand them. Hon. Speaker, like Hon. Yusuf Hassan has said, I would also plead with you to be quite judicious in considering all these issues. I also appeal to the leadership of the Minority Party, more so the party leadership of the Azimio Coalition – which was a coalition by coercion not a coalition of the willing like in Kenya Kwanza Coalition – to solve this matter amicably. That is why in this coalition of the willing, in Kenya Kwanza, parties willingly joined the coalition. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
