    "content": "When you look at our Constitution, the newborn baby, which is only three years old, is under attack and that is why we thought carefully that it is prudent to get about Kshs.80 million so that we can audit this young baby and find out what is wrong with it. This is because for just three years, we have not yet – I do not think we have owned this Constitution enough to know where it pinches. When you look at the various stakeholders who have been talking about this Constitution, it is like the country is already tired of this new Constitution and Kenyans forget easily that we have come a long way. It has taken us so many years to get our Constitution. When I see our male colleagues talking about our sisters, the Women Representatives, the issue of MPs or areas to be reduced, I wonder: Have we just forgotten where we have come from as a country? I understand there is a Bill coming to this House but I am asking my colleagues to hold it because I am one of those who are going to oppose with the strongest terms possible. This is because I do not think that is where we should go as a country."
