    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I would like to support the proposals by His Excellency the President on amending the Constitution. One of the proposals is the establishment of the Office of Leader of Official Opposition. The reason I support the establishment of this office is that it is going to be for posterity. It is going to help our nation in bringing the Leader of Official Opposition to the House so that any person who occupies that position can make meaningful contribution to the country. He can add his ideas and agenda as an alternative government. Policies that will be proposed by the Leader of Official Opposition can be adopted and implemented by the government. It is unfair that the Leader of the Opposition incites the public in public rallies and demonstrations on the streets and urges Kenyans to engage in illegal activities to help him get what he argues he did not get when the election was conducted and completed last year. It is important that, instead, we bring the Leader of the Opposition to the House and have him make his argument formally and in a way that can be interrogated. There is nobody who can interrogate you in a public rally. Nobody can ask you questions on your stand or belief or persuasion or on why you are inciting the public. Instead, it is important that the persuasions of the official opposition party are brought to the people in a formal way so that they can be interrogated."
