    "content": " We should also remove the barriers that have been established by dominant political parties for the establishment of new political parties that will compete with them and in particular, the requirement that a new political party must be present in 24 counties. This is an imposition of dominant political parties to stifle competition. My right to form a political party cannot be made contingent on having a thousand members in other 24 counties. The Constitution does not contemplate that. I can have a political party for myself and my wife as long as it is national and does not promote sectarian interests. Being national does not mean physical presence with offices in 24 counties. I will move that amendment to remove that. Finally, we will remove Section 14(a) to give Members of Parliament freedom to act as independent Members of this House. According to that section, Hon. Kaluma by now, should have been deemed to have defected from ODM because he is associating with UDA under something called broad-based government. I will be moving an amendment to that Clause too."
