    "content": "So, the Constitution says that if it is spelt out under Article 255 (1), whether Parliament passes it or not, it will go to a referendum. However, the text here is that if either House of Parliament fails to pass the Bill or the Bill relates to a matter specified in Article 255... So, any amendment proposed through a popular initiative by the people of Kenya, whether it touches on Article 255 (1) or not, even if either House of Parliament rejects it, it should go to a referendum. However, the Bill says the Bill shall lapse if it does not relate to a matter specified in Article 255 (1). I find this text completely at variance with what is in the Constitution. I hope the Committee identified that and will propose an amendment."
