    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, to answer Mr. Olago, if citizens have views and they do not know where to take their documents, please, let them drop them at the nearest provincial office or direct them to my office. I have already received quite a number and we always send them over almost immediately to the Committee of Experts (CoE) because we have an arrangement. Mr. Wamalwa asked something about extension. I am deeply conscious of the history of Constitution-making in this country. I am afraid that I will not be willing to stand here to tell Kenyans that the period should be extended. We have sufficient time to be able to debate this document. We have sufficient time to collect views. I think that with regard to the period of 30 days, when we designed this law, with respect, it was intended for those people who were so keen on particular positions that they cared to write memoranda to the CoE. It is those people who have 30 days to look at what they were suggesting, whether it has been catered for or not. They need to indicate whether they are satisfied with the proposals or not. We can then use that to polish the draft. I am hesistant and I want to advise the country, without fear, that the 30 days, in my view, is enough time. If you cannot do it in 30 days, you will never be able to do it."
