    "content": "under Article 2 of our Constitution. Therefore, a gathering of the House of Parliament cannot simply be wished away by being scared that a few members may either overturn or undermine the will of the people of Kenyans. I believe Kenyans speak directly through the election or indirectly through their elected representatives, who are the Members of the National Assembly, the Senate and our County Assemblies. Therefore, when institutions of accountability are dispensing their constitutional mandate such as what we are doing today, if you respect our Constitution, then respect the outcome and the processes that have been initiated and concluded in Houses of Parliament just as you do with courts of law. I appreciate that on many accounts, these processes has attracted close to 30 petitions to our courts of law. I agree with our learned judges that have made a determination that you allow Parliament to conclude on its processes such that anybody who is not satisfied with the outcome, can exercise their right to appeal. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the interest of time and knowing that many of my colleagues want to speak to this issue, I conclude at that. I request the Senate Minority Leader, Retired Justice Stewards Madzayo, the Senator for Kilifi County, to second this Motion. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
