    "content": "went through the process as constitutionally required. Another President would not have done that; he would have said that is final. However, when the late President Mwai Kibaki realized that what he had done was unconstitutional, he revoked the appointments and allowed due constitutional process to take place. That is President Kibaki’s commitment to the rule of law and governance. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the late President Mwai Kibaki’s commitment to the Constitution, constitutionalism and a new Constitution is well founded. In ordinary times, Kenya would have had a new Constitution. In fact, this is what I had been fighting for during the time of the late President Moi, but that was never to be. Therefore, when the new President came in, I reminded him that it could be his legacy then to have a new Constitution. We all know that a new Constitution was promulgated under Kibaki as the President. I remember when just the two of us had a meeting with him soon thereafter. He asked me: “What more can you give a country? What more can a President or the Chief Legal Adviser to the Government give a country than a new Constitution?” He was very proud of it. He will forever be remembered as a person under whose watch a new Constitution was promulgated."
