    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think this thing is really complete. This is because it went through the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) very well. The Members of that Committee did their best. The Committee of Experts (CoE) came back and did their best. I commend the CoE because they were guardians of the citizens of this country in this process. They are experts and we should respect them. When some people were proposing this Kabete thing, and I want to say that in passing--- We must forget what the media is saying. The Fourth Estate in any country has a right to air what it wants provided it is the truth. We cannot write-off the Fourth Estate at all because it is part of our democracy. We can also not write-off the civil society because it forms the basis of our democracy and we must listen to them. I think the CoE and the PSC listened to them. Every one of us has a little article that they would like changed for their own interest. That is what I oppose. Any personal interest towards this document must be removed. We tabled our memoranda before the CoE and this is what they included in the proposed Constitution. According to the Constitution of Kenya Review Act, it is finished. It was to start with the CoE and then the PSC and then back to the CoE. Now the document is in Parliament. It is for you and I to decide whether to open up or not. I personally, and I wish everybody would hear that I do not recommend any opening of the discussion of the Draft Constitution at all."
