    "content": "Committee that was given the mandate to look into this is seeking an extension of time. This is betrayal. The members of our county assemblies in the 47 counties did their part within a very short period of time. We are here procrastinating about the need to move this to the next level. Whereas there could be typo issues that call for additional time, asking for an indefinite period of time is also a more betrayal to Kenyans. We can accept a period of one week and wait in order to get the best of document for the people of Kenya. Just like my colleagues have alluded, the work of Parliament at this stage is to move it to the next level without necessarily getting into the depth and width of the entire document. All the people represented in this House subscribe to political parties which took their views before several committees. If we interfere at this point in time, it feeds into what we were told two weeks ago, that there are members of the Executive who are out to meddle with the affairs of this constitutional-making process. We reject in totality that kind of a move. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. One week will make do for me and for this House as well."
