"content": "The question then arises: With all these problems, what must we do as a House? When I read the American history, there are two ways you can interpret the Constitution. You can choose to interpret the Constitution in so much a restrictive manner that this House will more or less be moribund. You can also interpret this Constitution in a manner that is so liberal that you are able to achieve two purposes. One, you are able to correct some of the mistakes that this Report has pointed out to the House. Two, you could raise your hands and say: Our role as the Senate is to be paper-pushers, we tick boxes and say that anything that is unconstitutional will be handled by the courts. The choice will be made by us, Senators. We have drawn the attention of this House that Article 94 was given to us by the people of Kenya to exercise legislative authority on behalf of the people we represent."
