    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to speak. More critically, I want to congratulate you for your election as the Deputy Speaker. Hon. Deputy Speaker, this country owes a great appreciation to the three gallant sons and daughter of the Supreme Court of Kenya. The four Supreme Court Judges made history on1st September 2017 by choosing to be on the right side of history. On 1st September, 2017 when Supreme Court of Kenya made that historic and daring judgement, that was one of the boldest attempts at slaying the dragon of impunity. The question we need to ask ourselves following the ruling of the Supreme Court is whether the election of 8th August 2017 was bungled. The answer is yes. Did the Supreme Court make a determination that there were irregularities and illegalities committed by IEBC officials? The answer is yes. The other question is whether there were specific officers in charge of various dockets within the IEBC who were responsible for these transgressions. The answer is yes. Are these specific officers known by names? The answer is yes. That is why NASA and I must admit that we are ready for elections anytime any day. In fact, even if elections were called today, we are convinced that NASA, under Hon. Raila Odinga, will win resoundingly. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the reason why the IEBC was adamant to open the servers as directed by the Supreme Court was pure and simple in the sense that from our own tally, Hon. Raila Odinga garnered 8.7 million votes against Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta who garnered 7.1 million votes. So, Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga actually won the elections by a whopping 1.6 million votes."
