    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise in support of the Motion by the Leader of the Majority Party. At this juncture, this country of ours is at crossroads. The election was held on 8th August 2017. The persons who feel aggrieved are the NASA fraternity. However, as the Jubilee fraternity, we have the opinion and we strongly believe that there is no vacuum in this country. The provision of the Constitution is very clear that the sitting President will become a President until the next one assumes office. The elections done on 8th August 2017 were invalidated and as such other provisions do not apply here. We are also perturbed when we hear our brothers say that Kenyans, the President and other Kenyans feel aggrieved. Who is a greater citizen than the other? Are we not equal as citizens of this country? As the Jubilee fraternity, we are also Kenyans and we speak on behalf of our great sections of Kenyans. When we hear our brothers talk of the people of Kenya, it is as if they are the only ones who are aggrieved. Also, we have been told of the anomalies in the election that took place. However, what we are not being told is that no one is disputing the figures that came out. What is in dispute are the technicalities. Also, the figures speak for themselves. The statistics can be said but the figures are there. What President Uhuru Kenyatta got in terms of figures is there for anyone to see. On the issue of the presidency, we condemn what our colleague Hon. Babu Owino did. The The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
