    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to thank the Prime Minister for assuring the country that we are not going to find ourselves on a collision course. May I also thank the Vice-President for having changed his mind. Since this is a coalition Government of Ministers of many colours and specialists of doublespeak, I will not be surprised if even those Ministers who are saying “No” change their minds and say “Yes” like the rest of us. They are most welcome. However, I would like the Prime Minister to clarify only one issue. The Prime Minister was attempting to invite the clergy to the table of negotiation, which is welcome anyway, but is he aware that the Constitution of Kenya Review Act was deliberately designed such that the constitutional review process can be constantly on the forward-gear and, therefore, cannot be reversed? If he is aware, could he do the honourable thing by taking advantage of this time and assuring the church that the only thing you can do is to commit yourself, and probably the Government, to the fact that after the referendum, is when their issues can be looked at afresh but at the moment, it is an exercise in futility? Finally, if, indeed, that is the case, can you also assure the House that the President and the Prime Minister are not remotely attempting a situation whereby they would like this country to lose on what we have already gained by re-opening negotiations, which you have said can never reach a general consensus?"
