    "content": "Secondly, Article 2 of the Constitution of Kenya proclaims the supremacy of this superior law such that any process to change it cannot be initiated by the whims of any individual of whatever status or position. We find this to be unconstitutional and an attack on democracy and the values of this country. Under Article 131 (2) and what was affirmed by the Supreme Court in its judgement on the BBI case, the President is bound to respect, uphold and safeguard this Constitution. The President cannot at any time contemplate, imagine or initiate a process of amending the Constitution yet he has sworn to uphold, respect and safeguard it. This is a matter that has already been exclusively settled by the Supreme Court. Unless that aspect is set aside, whatever the President has said here is essentially a breach of the Constitution. Generally, it is breaching the Constitution and he is liable for impeachment as required."
