    "content": "should not be a debate for Members of the National Assembly to say that NG-CDF must be entrenched in the Constitution and that they will be the only people in Parliament who will deal with the issue of allocating the budget for those offices. If we do that, future generations will note that there were men and women of wisdom when the first amendments to the Constitution of Kenya 2010 went through. Finally, we should not fear amending the Constitution. I used to hear people say that the American Constitution has never been amended. It has been amended several times. In fact, the First Amendment took place after five years, and they amended 12 Clauses, including the Bill of Rights, just after five years. The Supreme Court was weaker than our own Senate. In 1790, the Supreme Court of America, used a committee room in Congress. In the first term, they did not have offices or listen to any cases. However, it is now one of the strongest and most influential courts in the world. Let us also take this opportunity to relook at the Senate of Kenya. We were not in Naivasha; only Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale was there when they mutilated the Bomas proposal and made the Senate a shell. Now, we have an opportunity to do something for posterity. With those remarks, I support."
