    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Kindly, allow me to indulge in this matter without my mask. I thank God for allowing me to participate in this august House in this constitutional moment. It is really a privilege for the people of Rangwe to participate in the Bill that seeks to amend the Constitution of Kenya. I appreciate the process that this particular Bill has gone through for it to come to this end. One of the eminent persons who participated in the process of putting together this Bill before it came to the House is one of my constituents, Dr. Collins Odote, who is a real scholar. By virtue of that alone, I really appreciate the content of this particular document. That is a member of Rangwe Constituency, which I represent. I really have faith in this document. From where I stand, my party position is that I support this particular Bill in its entirety. I am not going to do it just because I have been advised by my party. Before my party gave that advice, we have been educated on the matter of this Bill and I have come here to speak from a point of authority on information I have regarding this Bill. Hon. Speaker, allow me to look at certain questions that are pertinent to what has come in this Bill. Sometime in 2007, we had a situation in this country. Some parts of this country were on fire. We had a situation where people were being cut with panga in Naivasha as they travelled to western Kenya. We had people who were dislodged from what they had known to be their homes for very many years in the Rift Valley, and they found themselves homeless. We even had people who were burnt in our local churches. That is what informed the particular debate that we have The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
