"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Proposed Constitution is a collective aspirations of the Kenyan people. I am sure the Kenyan people are happy. In one of todayâs newspapers, the headline was: âGood Start.â I am sure we will have some good Press because this is good. Let me tell you why. For the first time, the President will not take half of this National Assembly and make it part of Government. If you do so, then Mr. Otieno Kajwangâ who was very vibrant automatically becomes silent and opposition loses massively. Let the President be where he is and let the people of Kenya be represented here. That is one beautiful thing about this Constitution. The second thing which is good about this Constitution is that whoever he appoints, we will check whether he can serve Kenyans or not. If Kenyans are happy through the House, they will serve us. But they will serve us at our own pleasure. This House can say, âwe appointed you to serve, but you are no longer serving the national interest, we are evicting you from your officeâ. By majority here we can evict a Minister from office. That is a check on the Executive."
