    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, at this very early stage, I wish to personally commend the Parliamentary Select Committee on the Constitution (PSC) who have not only shown a willingness to work late into the night, but have also demonstrated their patriotism by going across the party divide and coming together to ensure that Kenyans get a Constitution of their choice. I feel duty bound to also thank the Committee of Experts (CoE), even though I feel personally they could have done much better to reflect the will of the people in the draft Constitution. That is why I specifically feel that the PSC did a fantastic and commendable job on behalf of this country. They have done us proud. It is my humble request that this House takes note of that and do the needful without dividing the country. There are some contentious issues. There are issues that are in the public domain that need to be discussed here. But I have no doubt that through the spirit of give and take exhibited severally in Naivasha, this House will deliver to the people of Kenya a draft Constitution that will guide us and generations to come after us. I do not want to go into that issue too much, so let it rest at that."
