    "content": "We have to decide, Hon. Ng’eno, whether we want to have a presidential system or a parliamentary system. Even when you want to have this hard dry hair called “hybrid” in respect of which I do not know any constitutional formation, we have to decide. If you want to have what the lecturers call “autochthonous Constitution”, which means something which befits us, we still have to discuss it as a country. We cannot discuss it here as assembled 349 Members and think that those are the decisions of the people we represent. We are their representatives in terms of legislation, but we are not their representatives in terms of the Constitution. It is for every individual who must make a voice. At the end of the day, even if we want to have a mixed system, it should spring from the people. Therefore, we must create a mechanism and national convention where people can speak and say whether they want to go the presidential way or mixed system. Any system which works is good for this country. Let us respect the people because they passed a Constitution. The sovereignty of the People is much more important than anything else. That is the second thing. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
