    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this Motion and I want to thank Sen. Wako for bringing this Motion to the Floor of the House. Indeed, it is very necessary for the people of this country to be taken through the Constitution. It is a necessary activity that the Government should plan and sensitize the people of this country about the Constitution. As I speak today, I know there are those who do not even have a copy of the Constitution. We all know that most of the people in Kenya were very negative about this Constitution because of the confusion that was brought by the referendum. We can all agree that there was a referendum and there were those who voted for the Constitution and those who were against it. So, it is our responsibility as leaders of this country to make it clear to the people that the Constitution is a real document that there is no way we can ignore it. It is a document that is mandatory for all of us. We are not talking about the Government alone but we, as Senators or Members of Parliament, need to do something about it. Whenever we are somewhere, we can use any means, be it vernacular stations and any other programme that you can plan as a leader from your respective area to make sure that we do something about civic education. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you will be shocked that today if you go to the grassroots, some people do not even understand the Constitution. They think that the Constitution is different from devolution. You will be surprised to hear from these people that devolution is another document. So, Sen. Wako has brought this Motion at the right time and I support civic education to the people of Kenya. With those few remarks, I support."
