    "content": "There is the other issue of framing the questions. I agree with the Joint Committee’s Report that the promoters of the referendum questions are the ones who should formulate them. People cannot sit down, discuss what they want or the promoters or a promoter goes through the process of collecting all those signatures and then when he or she brings the question, Parliament or IEBC tells him or her that they will look at it. The Joint Report has recommended that the promoters of the referendum should do that. When we have a referendum, it is important to have one clear question. We need to look into that. Even if there are many issues, when they are formulated in terms of a Bill as indicated in the Constitution, then it is easier to have a yes and no referendum. Even if it is not an amendment to the Constitution or any other referendum where this law does not apply, I do not see how you will have a whole list where this one is saying “no” and the other “yes”. This means that you will have very many committees each one dealing with each question. That is something that we will look into."
