    "content": "The document before us now is a document that has undergone a process where the two organs of the review, that is the Committee of Experts and the Parliamentary Select Committee, have been able to come up with this draft Constitution. I would like to quote Martin Luther King who said: “The full measure of man is not where he stands at the time of comfort. It is where he stands at the time of challenge and controversy”. In our country today, we are faced with a challenge; the challenge to give Kenyans a new Constitution. This House should stand up to the occasion and be able to give our country a new Constitution. There is time to challenge. Kenyans have desired to have this Constitution for the last 20 years and even beyond. This is the challenge and we should give Kenyans a new Constitution. The full measure of this House, as I have said, is where do we stand? Do we stand on the way of the Constitution or we give the way? My submission is that we should, as House, help Kenyans to have a new Constitution."
