    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to start by acknowledging that in our country, the formation of coalitions occur pre-and-post- election. Therefore, the determination of this case would only have benefited the Azimio Coalition if the courts had made their determination urgently, as the case was taken to court under a certificate of urgency. This judgment, coming two years late, is unimplementable because the reality is that there have been movements in and out of the Azimio Coalition. It is important that this House also addresses the Judiciary as it is no longer tenable for them to certify a matter as urgent, but make a determination two years later. So, where is the urgency? We must be practical in handling the issues of Kenyans when they go before the Judiciary. As at this point in time, the only way out of this quagmire is for you and Parliament to communicate afresh to the Registrar of Political Parties to provide us with the facts as they stand today, and based on the response from the Registrar, make a determination as to which party has the majority members. Therefore, let us move forward with the business of the House. I urge you to stand and make a ruling on this issue."
