To my dear colleagues and Kenyans, allow me to disabuse you of the illusion that the BBI Bill before Parliament is a perfect document arrived at in a flawless, perfect process that is supposed to solve all the problems that we have in this country. Most of the things that I wanted to touch on have been dealt with by my colleagues. I will try to demonstrate why I have serious reservations on the process, particularly on this Bill in very few words. I will focus my contribution today in the following five areas. One, the creation of the additional 70 constituencies. Two, the Judiciary; three, money to counties, focus on the issue of the equalization fund and the mandate of Article 203; the introduction of Article 203(n) by this Bill. I will also focus on the role of Parliament in ensuring fiducial responsibility when it comes to the Executive."}
