    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to urge Members that, Constitutional Review is a thorny issue. If we start by trying to tear our own nationals in this House, it does not augur well for reforms. This is because next time a candidate is brought, and if it is perceived that he was opposed to facilitate inclusion of a preferred candidate of a Member, then what is going to happen is that we shall be opposing each other instead of pulling together. Let us have faith in fellow Kenyans. They may not have been everybody's first choice, but they are qualified and acceptable. I plead that we accept them, move on with the review and try to find harmony. Even in the Constitutional Review itself, we will have very thorny issues. If we cannot get over this first stage, then it does not augur well for the rest of the review. May I, once again, plead that we give the Kenyans selected a chance."
