    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to support the Motion to adjourn the House to go and hold discussions and dialogue among Kenyans. This is the time that Parliament needs to give leadership to the nation on this important Constitution-making process. Some of us who had gone to Naivasha last week for the PSC felt disappointed. That did not take place then because we are spending a lot of time without resolving the issue of Constitution-making. Twenty years is a long time and I think this is the time that we should not lose the chance to give it to Kenyans. It is important for us to go now to have dialogue. Every problem has a solution. When people sit down and talk to each other, they will be able to understand each other’s position. I want to say that I support the discussion that is going to be among the Parliamentarians, so that we can have a common position. We should be aware not to open everything. There are some principles that we worked on relating to governance, devolution and civil rights. Those are the principles that we, Parliamentarians, need to make sure that they are sustained."
