    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, he did not get me right. I said I respect them. I am the one to choose the people to respect even if he claims it is wrong to do so. There is an allegation by some Senators on that side and the presidential candidate for NASA that there will be no election. However, the Constitution is very clear on this matter. Article 138(1) says: “If only one candidate for President is nominated, that candidate shall be declared elected’. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if they continue to say there will be no election and fail to nominate their candidate, then IEBC will declare hon. Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta as the President of the Republic of Kenya. Article 33 of the Constitution provides for the freedom of expression. However, it does not give room for hate speech. It is unfortunate that a colleague from the National Assembly was quoted abusing the President. That is uncalled for and unacceptable. I want to put it very clear and it must be noted that when anybody abuses any institution in this country, it is not in good faith. We must respect the institution of the presidency because it is a unifying symbol of this country. Any person who abuses it should face the full force of law."
