    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Parliament is the most critical organ of this Constitutional making process. I totally disagree as the hon. Member for North Horr with those who are saying that we should just pass this document as it is. I think it is an abuse to our collective intelligence as leaders of this nation. We are an organ of the Constitution making process, just like the Committee of Experts (COE), the Parliamentary Select Committee on the Constitutional Review (PSC), of which I am a member. This House has a mandate to improve on this proposed Constitution. Those who defined the Act gave us 30 days to deliberate and also amend the proposed Constitution. They had wisdom that as national leaders, we can rise to the occasion. What we are being told is that as national leaders, as Members of Parliament, we are not able to rise above ethnic or regional interests and do what is right for this nation. I think we can do so. We have the ability, capacity and the will to do that . Where we need to amend, we should amend. We should rise to the occasion."
