"content": "abortion is to miss the point. The draft says that the life of a person begins at conception; and provides an exception where that is not possible. The removal of the exception will not do. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the long and short of it is that we have a good document before this House. Indeed, it is miles apart or light years apart from the document that is currently ruling in this jurisdiction. The current Constitution that we have is not fit for purpose; it is completely not fit for the purpose of ruling and running this country. it is time we changed it. It is time we changed it peacefully, that is through a peaceful process; this is the process that is culminating with this document going to the people of Kenya as a draft. What this House is called upon to do is one of two things; one, to improve the document, if it is possible â and it is possible by garnering the majority that is required by the current Constitution, so that the document can be improved. Indeed, it can be improved because it is a document from human beings! In the event that the document cannot be improved, then release it so that it moves forward to the fourth and final organ of review. What this House has no power to do is to stop the process, because the process was set by law; the law is anchored in the Constitution and the process is laid down by a road map designed, debated and passed by this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this long, torturous road has an end in sight. Indeed, there is a silver lining that is beckoning this House. This House has the ability to write itself in history in golden letters; it has the ability to be remembered as the House that finally ushered in a new constitutional order in this country."
