    "content": "The Commission consists of— (a) the Speaker of the National Assembly, as chairperson; (b) a vice-chairperson elected by the Commission from the members appointed under paragraph (c); (c) seven members appointed by Parliament from among its members of whom— (i) four shall be nominated equally from both Houses by the party or coalition of parties forming the national government, of whom at least two shall be women; and (ii) three shall be nominated by the parties not forming the national government, at least one of whom shall be nominated from each House and at least one of whom shall be a woman. It is very, very clear when it comes to parties that do not form the national government. In this case, the parties that do not form the national government are ODM and Wiper. Those are the only two parties which are parliamentary parties within the reading of the Standing Orders. So Hon. Momanyi has raised a serious constitutional issue. Whether it is Momanyi, Makali Mulu, Hon. Rashid of Wajir East, any member of Wiper sitting in this House as per that provision of the Constitution is entitled to a slot. Hon. Speaker, we want you to give direction tomorrow before I move this Motion, because we will not sit here, even us who are in Jubilee, when one parliamentary party is being muzzled and suffocated by its bigger brother. Hon. Mbadi, yes, you can have 99 Members. I do have 220 Members but I allow them to enjoy their freedom."
