    "content": "national Government, one of whom shall be from either House and another one to be of the opposite gender. The same is provided for the other four, that two shall come from the National Assembly and the other two shall come from the Senate. If you recall, on 14th December before this House went on recess, that matter was extensively debated here until it got to a point where the party, which is a partner or a coalition partner in NASA known as Wiper Democratic Movement-Kenya, insisted that they are one such party that is qualified for a slot from among the three reserved to parties not forming the national executive. We had to go to our Standing Orders. Who qualifies to be a party in the National Assembly? In our Standing Orders it is any party that has more than five per cent of the representation in the House. At that time, I directed that, therefore, since Article 127(2)(c)(ii), like Article 127 (2)(c)(i) does not provide for coalition, it is parties. I did direct, therefore, that either NASA sits as a coalition and agrees or those parties that qualify provide names. We did the calculation. This is information which has been provided to the Leader of the Minority Party and the Minority Whip. After the calculation, ODM is entitled to two of the three slots. There is 1.78 per cent of three and the nearest to that, is two. Wiper Democratic Party is entitled to 0.48 per cent. The next parties worth mentioning in that category are what is called ANC or something. Is it African… Amani National Congress?"
