"content": "There has been a clear attempt to stifle the voices and thoughts of those who do not agree with this process. It will be wrong on my part to support such a process that is flawed from the onset. If you do recall, a few of our colleagues here were Ministers in President Mwai Kibaki’s Cabinet in 2010. Perhaps having learned from the misadventure of 2005 and the very unfortunate events that happened in 2007, President Mwai Kibaki allowed his Ministers to choose which side of the Constitutional debate to belong. Madam Temporary Speaker, I can count as many as four Ministers that I remember including the current Senate Majority Leader who were in the opposition or belonged to the ‘No Camp’ at that particular time when we were amending this particular Constitution. They were not threatened and the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) officers were not sent to raid their homes. This particular exercise has seen county governors and anybody who has dared to exercise their free thought on this particular document have all manner of threats, intimidation and blackmail."
