    "content": "There is the issue of unconstitutional amendments. We recognise the Constitution as the supreme law of the land. Constitutionalism is a basic principle of respecting the sovereignty of the people. Therefore, it means that in amending the Constitution and the people ratifying it through the referendum, then you are actually creating a new order to be adhered to. Thus, the issue of unconstitutional amendments should not arise. How can you call the amendment of the Constitution unconstitutional? It cannot be. We can make amendments that are not good for this country but they will be in the Constitution. Kenyans created Constitution 2010. They are the ones who can change it. If they are making it worse, it is their prerogative. You cannot turn around again and say that Kenyans do not know what they are doing. They are making unconstitutional amendments in the Constitution. How can an amendment of the Constitution become unconstitutional? It can only be wrong. It can only be an amendment that does not help the country move forward."
