    "content": "I say this because the people who sit in this House; the 47 elected and the nominated Senators, will remember going by our mandate. I think we have a clear mandate, which is to protect the interests of our people in the counties. I believe that when the framers of our current Constitution and Kenyans decided on 27th August, 2010, to give themselves this Constitution, it was from a background and history of bad governance. Kenyans wanted a new order in the country because before then, the independence of the Judiciary was not there. Abuse of the law was rampant in the country. Since we wanted to get away from that history, Kenyans decided to give themselves this Constitution, which we all swore to protect, defend and uphold. Madam Temporary Speaker, you will realize that we have an obligation as leaders and citizens to defend this Constitution. We have our rights in this Constitution. Under this Constitution, nobody is above the law. Parliament, the Executive and the Judiciary have a clearly defined mandate in the Constitution."
