    "content": "due diligence it requires through public participation that is constitutionally mandated, and that this House will do the right thing. Looking at the Order Paper today, we have several Bills. This Bill, while a very important topic at this time of elections, is not any different from all the other laws this House makes for this country. This House has been making laws to the best of its ability with every constitutional requirement ticked off on the box. Therefore, to insinuate or to say that this Bill should be done this or that way and yet there are so many other Bills which we are not mentioning, is to apply double standards to certain legislative procedures just because this touches us, as legislators. I do not want to belabour this, but I would like to reassure Kenyans that anything that this House does, we will follow due process as per the Constitution of our country. I would also like to reassure ourselves that we are not hoping; we are going to do what is constitutional and right. We will do what will give Kenyans the confidence that this is indeed an “Upper House”. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I submit and I look forward to working on this and doing the right thing with it."
