I thank all the contributors to this Motion. They include Senior Counsel Sen. Orengo, Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, my learned friend Sen.(Dr.) Ochillo- Ayacko and Sen. Linturi. I appreciate the kind words from my colleague Senators. I reiterate that as a lawyer I have been privileged to rise and serve my country as the President of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK). Therefore, there is not title that I wear more proudly than being a defender of the rule of law. In a situation such as the one at hand, I have no choice other than to put my country and the Constitution of the Republic first. I have no choice other than to bear true and undivided allegiance to the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya which I swore on the Floor of this House to defend."}
