    "content": "here, as one Member said, we need to look at it again. These courts should not be used as political courts. They should be used to serve the purpose they are supposed to serve. I know that we are still going to make a follow up on the Motion that had come to this House of pulling out from the ICC, if that is the direction it is going to take. By appointing the Deputy President to act as President, this shows the seriousness the President has in terms of service delivery to Kenyans. I do not know why some Members see this as a big issue. The Constitution provides--- The President did it so well. He planned that while he is away, his deputy handles his duties very well. Although he did not do it in State House, but that is the Office of the President. We know that Harambee House houses the Office of the President. So, that is not a big issue. I want to congratulate Members from the CORD Coalition who came to listen to the President’s Speech, apart from hon. Mbadi and others. However, at least, they have heard the President’s Speech from the Leader of Majority Party and myself, from what I am trying to highlight. Those Members who decided not to come on that day, I would like to tell them that the presidency is a symbol of unity of the country. We were elected to represent our people inside Parliament and not outside. I met my friend, hon. Opiyo Wandayi running away when the President was coming in. This was completely out of order!"
