    "content": "I am telling you because they have discussed every chapter in that Constitution. They have discussed it endlessly! Honestly, if we left them alone by themselves, and they did not worry about us, they would write a very good Constitution for Kenya. It would be very suitable. Then, we can now focus our minds on the new Kenya that we want to build! What I know - and that is what makes me sad--- When I look at our children who have been to schools and got educated, they are talking about the new world, which everybody else is talking about in the rest of the world. They are not wasting time arguing about the kind of things which we are killing each other about. They are not! They are talking about the new world as they know and see it! Those children--- Well, we call them children because they are our children. But they are not children. They are university students and they are knowledgeable. They can write that Constitution for us! I am sure that we can do it here. I am sure, myself, that we know where we are going to go. I am sure we will get there! So, ladies and gentlemen, let us make up our minds to move in that direction quickly, and have that Constitution. Then, we can now work to build the new Kenya in the spirit that the new generation would like to see that Kenya. If we put our mind there, I am sure we can build Kenya to be good. It will grow. The spirit in which it will grow will be very enormous. I have no doubt at all that, that is the way it would be. I am quite sure that, that is the way it will be. I know that, that is the way that we shall go. I know that each one of us has a mission. Preach to the person who lives where you live why we must all be together. Preach also to him why we must move in this spirit and build a new Kenya. Preach to them why that is the only thing which has meaning in the present day's world. Actually, our own children will go that way. 204 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES March 18, 2008 That is the only way they know is meaningful. The present world is going that way. So, let us go that way. I am sure, we will because that is the way we shall go. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we were saved from a crisis somehow. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not want to spend a lot of time talking about that particular thing. However, if you want to know, I am quite willing to tell you, quietly somewhere, what it is that we were headed to. But we have now come back."
