    "content": "The jury is still out on whether or not they did well, but as to where we are felicitation is in order and deserving. Kenyans yearn for reforms because they love their country. They want peace in the hope and expectation that their aspirations for development, good governance and better life would be realised in their lifetime, and that they will in turn bequeath these to their children and children’s children and on to prosperity. Kenyans have for many years hosted refugees at immense sacrifice and we are, therefore, disenchanted with the continued presence of IDPs in their midst. We must do all that it takes to reverse this enigma with us, Hon. Members in the forefront to bring about the necessary if not essential reforms to deliver this. This country is ready to move forward. What our people expect of us, especially as their elected representatives sitting in this House, is leadership. I emphasize “leadership”. Our people would like to see the leadership of this country stand firm in defending our national values as enshrined in our national anthem which the spiritual leaders have very ably recited parts of this afternoon. The people of Kenya have accorded us the privilege to be their elected representatives so that we subscribe to and uphold their dignity. Your Excellency, at this juncture, I would like to appeal to Members to approach debate on the new Constitution with full soberliness. We have no reason, nay business to call each other names merely because of a difference in opinion or stand on a given article or clause in the Harmonized Draft Constitution. We shall stand accused of confusing the public or worse still, of sowing seeds of discord, disharmony and animosity among our people."
