    "content": "processes. They are not being genuine because they oppose the reforms which are being truly spearheaded by this law. They have flimsy excuses which cannot be proven. We are asking them to come back to the House where they belong and collect salary from so that we debate here and give Kenya the way forward. We oppose those creating crises which do not exist because they want to make people believe in them yet they have no goodwill for this country and its children. They only think about themselves and believe that only Raila Amolo Odinga can be the president. They want to see the country burn just for the sake of making sure that one person gets power. I was shocked on 8th August when I heard Raila saying that Uhuru must go home. That is just enmity and has nothing to do with the legal--- He said it very forcefully and you could tell that he was angry with President Uhuru the person and not with what was happening. We urge the NASA fraternity to ensure that we have a Kenya where there is peace, love and unity as one of our leaders kept on reminding us. Elections should not breed enmity. It is a competition that comes and goes and anyone with goodwill for this country will not try to create a crisis where it does not exist. We have never had an annulled election in this country and, indeed, even in Africa and many other countries. Extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary solutions, and our development partners should understand that. Of course, they may not understand that since they have never had elections annulled. We are going through a very difficult time and they should understand that Jubilee is not trying to do anything out of the ordinary; to benefit ourselves. We are doing it for the sake of our country and so should our Christian and Muslim leaders. If our religious leaders really care for this country, they must also join us and support the good work that we, as parliamentarians, are doing. We are taking the responsibility to create laws, just as the Executive has to take the responsibility to deliver an election and the courts have to interpret our laws properly. We cannot just say that this is the wrong time. It is the right time because the presidential election was annulled. It is by the grace of God that we have not had violence in this country. It is only because it affected the Jubilee side. If this had happened to NASA, there would be fire. They are now saying that the country is on fire. The country is not on fire; they are the ones lighting the fire. Indeed, the country would have been on fire if Hon. Raila Odinga’s election was annulled. I support the Bill."
