    "content": "Clause 9 of the Bill proposes to amend Section 14 of the principal Act by setting out a clear mechanism by which political parties may deem their members to have resigned. There has been a lot of confusion. Mere opposition to a political party’s interest or things they are espousing is deemed to suggest that they have vacated their positions as members of that party. There is no vacation of membership by mere association. You must vacate through resignation. Let it be very clear that you have moved and merely crossing to sit on either side should not be taken to suggest that someone has defected. Merely seeing me in your constituency should not mean I have defected. It should not be taken to be betrayal of the interest of the party. Kenyans should be allowed to exercise their democratic right of association and freedom of speech."
