    "content": "What Kenyans hope for is that they are genuine in this conversation. If they are, then we will have found the ingredient that has been lacking in this country since Independence. Integrity and honesty when discussing issues that affect the Republic. Compromise and pragmatism have been the hallmark of this Republic. Those who have followed Constitution making in this country, in the 1950s the Lyttleton Constitution which allowed for the first time, eight African members to be elected to the Legislative Council of Kenya (LEGCO), was said to be too little. It had great opposition and there were intellectuals from the white highlands who vehemently opposed having people elected into the LEGCO. It was passed and we made certain incremental gains. Later on, the Lennox - Boyd Constitution came, that expanded the number of Members from eight, by six, to 14. Again, it was considered to be too little because we did not even have universal franchise for the African man."
