    "content": "Hon. Members, the Petitioner further claims that every presidential election, since the promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, has been divisive on account of the said winner-takes-all system. He also avers that various initiatives and public discourse to introduce the said offices through the mechanisms provided for under Article 257 of the Constitution have not borne fruit. The Petitioner thus prays that this House considers amending the Constitution to introduce the offices of the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and Official Leader of the Opposition in order to address the divisive nature of our national politics. Hon. Members, having established that the matter raised in this Petition is well within the authority of this House, I hereby commit it to the Public Petitions Committee for consideration pursuant to Standing Order 208A. The Committee is required to consider the Petition and report its findings to the House and the Petitioner in accordance with Standing Order 227(2). I thank you."
