    "content": " I want to say from the outset that I support the Draft Constitution as it is, because I believe that it meets the wishes and aspirations of the majority of the Kenyan people. I also believe that there are provisions in this Draft Constitution to address many of the major challenges that we have faced as a country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have all travelled a very long, difficult and painful journey. Along this journey, people have lost their lives, others have been jailed, detained and others have been clobbered and maimed while others have fled this country in search of safer haven. Now that we see the light at the end of the tunnel, we must remember to pay tribute to some of the people who championed the cause of change and the demand for a new order. Some of those are in this House while others are elsewhere but they deserve our tribute. I also want to thank all those who have been involved in the preparation of this Draft up to this point, especially the people of Kenya themselves for their persistence and input. The Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC), especially the Chairman and Vice- Chairman, both of whom have done a tremendous job and have shown great leadership. I also want to thank the Committee of Experts (CoE) who have worked tirelessly and professionally to produce this Draft and, of course, the Government of Kenya for facilitating."
