    "content": "Mr. Ruto advanced the view that the House is currently at the stage provided for in Section 33(4) of the Constitution of Kenya Review Act (2008) and also that the business before the House is a Motion by the Chairman of the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) on Review of the Constitution. It was the view of Mr. Ruto that even though it has been described as a draft Constitution in the Act, the document currently before the House is not the draft Constitution to which Section 33(5)(a) refers and is, therefore, not subject to the procedure provided for at Section 47A(2)(b) of the Constitution. To bolster his argument, Mr. Ruto argued that it was not by mistake that Section 33(5)(a) applies the procedure at Section 47A(2)(b) to only Sub-section 5 and not to Sub-section 4. He further argued that the document before us cannot be a draft Constitution as it has emanated from a group of seven persons. There has been no representation in its discussion to this stage. It was his argument that the document is being discussed by a representative body for the first time."
