    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. First of all, I congratulate the NASA Member who spoke before me. I also congratulate my friend, Hon. Chris Wamalwa, and the Leader of the Minority Party for, first, agreeing to come to the House so that we can engage on a platform that is legal. Secondly, I congratulate them for accepting to take the oath of office, having validly been elected to serve in the 12thParliament. I am surprised that the same Members are casting aspersions on the credibility of the 8th August general elections and saying that the process through which they were elected, which was the same process through which the President was re-elected, was fraudulent. They are a product of the same process. The issue we are debating is very important. Given the importance of the debate, there should be total freedom of expression in terms of our thoughts. One of the things we are engaged in this afternoon is defending the Constitution of this country. We have seen Members of the Opposition, especially the NASA presidential candidate claiming that he will be boycotting the “rematch” of the presidential race. It is good for the IEBC to come clear and tell Kenyans what the ramifications of a boycott by one candidate are. The country is going to spend a lot of money in the repeat election. If, indeed, Hon. Raila Odinga is not prepared to participate in the repeat election, then he would save our country a lot of money. We will simply swear in the validly elected President without having to waste resources that could otherwise be channeled to better uses in our country."
