    "content": "This Session was summoned by His Excellency the President. I am happy to note that in your acceptance speech, you referred to respect for institutions. I want to underline here the fact that the Presidency is an institution, just like Parliament is. The Presidency is duly constituted upon His Excellency the President having been declared the winner by the Electoral Commission of Kenya and having been subsequently sworn in. We are here so that you administer oath to us. Some of the hon. Members here, it is public knowledge that they are facing petitions, but they are here because they were declared winners. Until a competent court declares otherwise, they are Members of Parliament entitled to the same respect just as any of us. Let us be fair and avoid theatrics. This is the same for the Office of the President and for the Presidency."
