    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to request for directions as to the stage we are in according to the Constitution of Kenya Review Act. I also wish to seek clarification as to what document is before the House. We are dealing with it as a Motion from the Chairman of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Constitution Review. There are various generous references to it as a “Draft Constitution”. At what stage does it become a Draft Constitution? It has been generously referred to as a Draft Constitution all the way from Bomas. But at this stage, in my view, we have to be guided by the review Act and the Act states--- The Constitution refers to it generously but I will leave that to Mr. Orengo. The point I am putting across is that you have indicated to us that we are now at Section 33(4). At this stage, we are supposed to debate it and do either (a) or (b). After this, it is indicated what happens to the document. But Section 33 (5) specifically states, and I wish to read it out for us to understand. Section 5(a) states that the National Assembly shall consider the draft Constitution submitted under Sub-section 5. That is, whatever will be submitted to us after Sub-section 5 in accordance with the provisions of Section 47A (2) (b). At this stage, it assumed that, that is when this document starts a life as a draft Constitution."
