    "content": "This final hour when we have only 15 days or so remaining before we go for the repeat elections, we will not accept people to short change us and do things based on selfish interests at the cost of this nation. The law is very clear. We will follow it to the letter. This is what we are saying. This is a country that has a Constitution. It has laws. We must abide by the laws of the country. It is very clear. If a candidate withdraws from an election, then it is very clear what happens next. We are asking our independent institutions to respect the law of this country and do the needful. The ball is on the court of the IEBC. The ball is on the court of the courts of this country. The Supreme Court of this country gave a ruling and told us to go back to elections within 60 days, as required by the Constitution of this country. As the ruling party of this country, the Jubilee Party, we have accepted and abided by the law. We have agreed with the decision of the Supreme Court. That is why we are going all round this country campaigning and asking for votes because we are ready for the elections. After three days of gazettement of the people contesting the presidential elections, if one withdraws, then the other one is declared the winner. That is very clear in the law. So, we do not need to waste all this money that we have approved in this House. We have approved Ksh15 billion for the election. We need to declare President Uhuru Kenyatta as the legal president of this nation."
