    "content": " Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Constitution of Kenya Review Bill. It is a good Bill and very well drafted. However, I would like to suggest two or three amendments. I am only hoping that we still have room left especially in the Committee of Experts. Whereas we have three foreigners and four Kenyans we should have room to accommodate four more Kenyans, to have a regional representation within the eight provinces so that we have every province represented within the committee. So, we will have eight Kenyans and three foreigners. This is a suggestion which is probably worth thinking through. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am also thinking that we might have to look at some point at the total overhaul of the Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK) before we get to the referendum level. I personally believe that many Members would agree with that. We would not be looking at a good job to be done if we have to work with the same ECK that we worked with during the last elections. So, we need to think through and consider the ECK overhaul and that would be very important."
