John Mbadi","speaker":{"id":110,"legal_name":"John Mbadi Ng'ong'o","slug":"john-mbadi"},"content":"Remember in the previous Sitting, I pleaded with Members to be here so as to deal with this Bill so that we demonstrate that the creation of the extra Sitting was for a justifiable cause. I have gone through this Bill and I am happy that it has captured quite a lot of issues that were outstanding; issues which were not clear and have not been clear. I remember when the PunguzaMzigo Bill, which was meant to go to a referendum because it was through a popular initiative was introduced, some of us were asking: If we are to go for a referendum, what will guide the process? We were going to basically rely on our Constitution, which does not provide details on how to conduct a referendum. Today at least we have something which once we finish – I am sure we will finish with it quickly – it will guide the referendum process."}
