Murkomen","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":440,"legal_name":"Onesimus Kipchumba Murkomen","slug":"kipchumba-murkomen"},"content":"Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know constitutional lawyers here, and anyone who would like to pursue this matter further, the Constitution says that if an independent candidate joins a political party or is seen to support policies of a political party, he will lose his or her seat. So, going forward, memberships of Committees perhaps may not just be supporting a political party, but perhaps even that Committee they join together to push policies of a political party. It will be a very dangerous line with the possibility of that Member losing his seat. I think these are things we have to keep thinking, going forward."}
