    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I have read the judgement as my colleagues have. You have always been impartial in this House. There is no question about that. The three-judge bench said that your only problem is that you did not submit the evidence in your affidavit. So, what you need to do is to write to the Registrar of Political Parties, get evidence that the three parties – United Democratic Movement (UDM), Pamoja African Alliance (PAA) and the rest – and their 14 members belong to the Kenya Kwanza Coalition. Hon. Speaker, I also want to agree with my colleagues that coalitions keep changing. We may have a coalition with two or three parties today, but then tomorrow, one part moves from one coalition to another one. So, the position of Majority and Minority parties is dependent on which party has moved to which coalition. Hon. Speaker, in your ruling, just write to the Registrar of Political Parties to know the number of parties in each coalition so that the matter is put to rest. Otherwise, like my colleague has said, that matter should rest here. It is not the work of the courts to decide the number of members in a coalition of parties or a party. It is the work of the Speaker to decide how many parties are in a coalition. As my colleagues have said, the court did not say that the Azimio Coalition is the Majority Party. That is the work of the Speaker. We will abide by your ruling."
