    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Kenyans out there are watching. When I listen to Sen. Linturi trying to interpret the Constitution wrongly, I get shocked. He stood and interpreted Article 138 selectively. I remind the Senator that sometimes age does not only affect one person. It can affect two or three. In this case, it is affecting him. If you were keen, you would have realised that there would be no nomination in a repeat election after a presidential election has been nullified. It is only limited to two candidates. You can interpret the decision of the Supreme Court even in the 2013 election. The Constitution is also very clear in the Supreme Court ruling in that case. On another note, it is important and prudent that we respect each Member’s constitutional right. The Senator for Laikipia County alluded to the fact that other Senators who are not present in this House are out there acting as generals. He said that this is in public domain. I remind the Senator that it is within their constitutional right to picket if they so desire. So, let us behave in a manner that people out there will respect this House and know that the right to protest and demonstrate is not a right set aside for a few."
