    "content": "It also allows time. After being declared winner of the election, you will not assume office immediately. It gives 14 days within which if there are any challenges, Kenyans will have time to go to the courts to challenge that election. So, it will give enough time before the President elect is sworn in, in a clear ceremony on a known date at a known place. It will be a way of avoiding future problems, because of this clear procedure that was lacking before. When that President elect is sworn, he will go into office free of any encumbrances. Within the 14 days period, all the matters will be dealt with; if there is a petition, that President elect will have to wait, even after the court makes a declaration, another seven days before he is sworn into office. All this will allow for time for challenges to ensure that whoever is sworn into office as the Fourth President of the Republic of Kenya or his successor, it will be done in a clear way before all Kenyans."
