    "content": "elected to lead this House. I would like to applaud the President. In his Presidential Address, he showed a lot of leadership, humility and vision. He showed that he respects the Constitution. The President accepted the verdict of the Supreme Court. Even though he differed with the ruling of the Supreme Court, he accepted it and said we will face the electorate again. Secondly, he applauded election of young people so that they can champion the aspirations of the youth, women and people with disabilities. Invalidating the presidential results was regrettable because the people’s power was subverted. In this regard, we are ready to support the President and his Deputy as we go back for elections on 17th October. We know very well that we will garner the 70 per cent plus one that we put as our target. Victor Hugo notes that men or soldiers can be stopped, but no one can stop an idea whose time has come. Development in this country in terms of continuity in road construction, infrastructure development, transport development and every other aspect of development must continue under the leadership of President Uhuru Kenyatta and the Deputy President, William Ruto. I congratulate them and wish them well as they face the electorate on 17th October. We are ready to support them."
