    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the Procedural Motion. We live at a very momentous time when this august House has the opportunity to debate a new Constitution for the Republic of Kenya. Members of this House have seen it fit to propose several amendments to the Draft Constitution. The debating of these amendments in this august House itself is a historic moment. The going on record as to why Members of Parliament proposed these amendments is also important for the history of this nation. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is just half-a-day in our life time, but half-a-day which is very important for posterity; and half-a-day which is very important for the lifetime of this nation. So even though we may be opposed to the amendments, I would beg the House to provide the opportunity to Kenyans and to our children’s children to put on record the sentiments of the House and to ensure that history is properly recorded for the Republic of Kenya. I beg to support."
