    "content": "In the unfortunate event that this BBI process succeeds in amending our Constitution, it will be a case study across the world on how not to amend the Constitution. This is not how to do it. Something is absolutely wrong. That is why I stand and declare today that as much as I agree with so many of the proposals that have been shared, we must be able to point out what the errors are. Moving on to the technical issues that are tinkering with independent institutions, the first one being the IEBC, this debate has just ensued on this Floor. I wish Sen. Wamatangi had bothered to read that Article 89(10) on what options are available to Kenyans. It is only after the Commission has made a decision. The biggest and the most absurd thing about this proposal -if this Schedule is allowed - thanks to this misadventure, we will have one Constitution that treats the same issue differently. Madam Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have 290 constituencies where IEBC has been granted the proper mandate and authority on where to place them, name them and all those other details as Kenyans discern and an extra 70 constituencies that can only be domiciled in a particular county. How absurd can that be? That will be unfortunate if we have a Constitution of that nature."
