    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is the first time possibly we may be having our Constitution subjected to a referendum following a popular initiative. When we did our public participation for those who cared to watch, there were very many issues that arose from many individuals, very serious organisations and other government institutions, including the Kenya Law Reform (KLR). Our thinking as a Committee was that this being the first time we are doing this, we should come up with a report which will not only guide the interpretation of the over 12 matters pending in court as we speak, but also guide the other processes for posterity. Those issues may never include a definite position of this Parliament. This is because coming from the Committee is what really is Parliament’s role in this process, if we take what Hon. Kajwang’ was talking about. We may say Parliament has no role, but in what provision of the Constitution is that? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
