    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to the Motion. I stand here to support my colleagues in supporting this Motion. As we all know, the Constitution is the supreme law of this land, which is also the case in any country. It is the duty of this House to ensure that this is done right. Kenyans feel let down by the leadership of this country because, so far, they have not been given the new Constitution they were promised. So, I support this Motion because we need consensus, so that we can agree on the way forward. We need consensus because constitution making is extremely important. The first few days have shown that this Parliament can rise and serve this country. We have refused to be used like a rubber stamp, or accept things just for the sake of accepting. I want to appeal to this House. Fortunately, the Tenth Parliament has got the most intelligent people than any other Parliament in the past. Under your able leadership as the engine of the nation, we need to steer this country in the right direction. We must maintain the dignity of this House and, by extension, the dignity of this country. I want to take issue with the Minister for Foreign Affairs. We have ambassadors accredited to this country, who are directing how this country must run. We cannot allow that to continue. We may be poor, but we have our dignity. We must maintain that dignity. We must never allow any ambassador to dictate terms to this country."
