"content": "Secondly, hon. Members have subsequently participated in an election. For example, Prof. Saitoti, Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security was elected the Chairman of PNU. Ms. Karua, the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs, was elected the Chairperson for NARC-(K). In order for us to create the order in this House that is required, I raised the issue on 13th February, 2009 at the retreat of hon. Members, where we were discussing how we shall familiarise ourselves with the new Standing Orders. In the morning session, I was requested to raise the matter in the afternoon session, where it was to be discussed substantively. But in the afternoon session, the Chair of that session, Prof. Kamar said that the matter needed the interpretation and the ruling of the Speaker in person. So, there are two issues that I wanted to say. For order to be created, because the new Standing Orders are coming into effect in the new session which we anticipate will be in March after the prorogation of this House, for us to have a clear understanding, could Mr. Speaker direct that the other half that has been operating as a coalition, that we can be clear as to which ones are parliamentary parties? There is a definition of what is a parliamentary party in the new Standing Orders."
