    "content": "Constitution, which we promulgated some four years ago, is serving the purpose and the intention of Kenyans. We need to establish whether we have a better Constitution which will serve us better. Is it serving us better? Do we need all these commissions, for example? We have the Commission on Revenue Allocation which says that we should do away with the Provincial Administration. The day we will do away with the Provincial Administration in this country, this country will be worse than Somalia. I can assure you of that. Is that what the Chairman of the Commission on Revenue Allocation wants to advocate? The Chairman wants to try to manage Parliament, which gives him the budget that he uses to share those funds. Actually, we do not need that commission. What is the work of the Treasury? The Treasury can allocate those funds. They have a Budget Department, Audit Department and the Monitoring Department. Therefore, that commission should be done away with if this can be done without going for a referendum. Those are some of the issues which have been raised by this new Constitution that we must attend to, to find out whether they are serving the country or hurting it. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
