    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is like Ms. Karua has taken words out of my mouth. Nonetheless, I want to plead with my colleagues that what is before us is not an issue of the Government but an issue of the Constitution. As it were, this Parliament may well play in the hands of people who do not want this Constitution to be implemented. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you may know, Kenya is the only country or may be one of the very few countries which promulgated a new Constitution and did not proceed immediately to an election. Therefore, there are difficulties. We have sat here up to midnight on many occasions to pass laws. I want to plead with my colleagues that it is very important that we transcend the naysayers in the Executive. These Bills have been required for the last one year and they did not come. Let us not please them by the surprise which they may think they have sprung on this country. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
