    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to ask the Prime Minister, especially on this very important subject of the reform agenda, whether the statements he has been making about the people who voted “No” in the last referendum that indeed they do not qualify to be voted as leaders in this country is Government policy? I am talking about close to three million Kenyans who voted “No” in the last referendum. Was it their democratic right to vote yes or no? Are the statements attributed to the Prime Minister to the effect that these people have a problem is Government policy or that is his own opinion? What is the position of the Government on the democratic rights of Kenyans to either have voted “No” or “Yes”? What is the position of persons seeking office in a democratic society where there is freedom of conscience especially with reference to the reform agenda this year?"
