    "content": "comments about the Draft Constitution, which we have not even read--- Some people have already decided to sabotage it. The young people of this country want a new Constitution because there will never be a perfect Constitution. Let us have a new Constitution. So, let the politicians stop commenting about this or that Executive. Each one of us has a preference for a particular Executive. We have 30 days to debate the draft Constitution. Let us start debating it rather than being emotional and trying to whip up tribal sentiments thinking that particular tribes stand to gain when a particular Executive is put in place. All of us stand to gain if we come up with a compromised Constitution. If it is the issue of boundaries, let us discuss it and separate it from the issue of devolution of resources. Let us discuss and debate as a country. I urge the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs to very quickly bring the necessary amendments to Parliament so that we pass them. As I speak here, I am aware that some people are preparing to take us to court if we go to the referendum because there is no referendum law. The schedule we have is so tight and the Minister should move with speed and present before this House various amendments that we require to pass a new Constitution so that this country can get back to its feet and move forward. Thank, you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir."
