"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, whereas I appreciate what my colleague has raised, it is the same Kenyans who passed the Constitution who also desired to have the extra 80 constituencies. The same Constitution has provisions that can easily deny the very Kenyans the right to have the 80 new constituencies. I want us to be very clear here. The intention of the Government is to ensure that what Kenyans wanted when they were passing the Constitution is achieved. Therefore, there is no mischief here because we want to avoid a situation where the very Kenyans who wanted the 80 new constituencies are being denied by the very provisions of the Constitution. This Constitution also allows us to amend it; to amend it not, for a bad intention, but for the betterment and the benefit of the Kenyan people."
