    "content": "number of these amendments, it means that all of us have taken the trouble to read the draft Constitution. Every hon. Member, even those who have walked out and even those who have not supported, have failed to do so because they are informed. So, for that reason, I would want to thank all of you. Many people out there think we do not read; they think we do not look at the document, but this is one document that I thank all of you for having taken the trouble to go through with a tooth comb. Secondly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, the draft Constitution that we have, if you read it, you will see that it reflects pain; it reflects the agony of our people; it reflects the impunity that has been meted out to our people. We want to address that impunity. Wherever the Constitution will go, we are sure that it will come back again here, and I am sure that we are well advised. One thing that we need to do, surely, is to ensure that we have a judicial system that is functional. Because no matter what Constitution you have, if you do not have a functional judicial system, then the Constitution has no value! Therefore, let us make sure there are proper checks and balances for the constitutional system. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to support."
