    "content": "Therefore, what I want to say is that you will see eventually that this Bill is going to contribute to the adherence of the rule of law and the proper democratic governance of the Republic of Kenya. This is especially the case when each State officer or public officer will be placed somewhere that is consistent with his or her role. Therefore, I want to appeal to you that this is consistent. We have subjected it to all constitutional mechanisms; the Law Reform Commission, the Law Society of Kenya and our own legal team. All those bodies have looked at it and in every aspect, it is constitutional. Of course, I accept and I want to say as my final remarks that there are many opinions as there are lawyers. I am sure as seasoned lawyer, you might not agree with hon. Kaluma, or equally you might have different interpretation. That notwithstanding, it meets every aspect of our Constitution. Therefore, I want to thank you. We will bring amendments. The relevant Committee has looked at all those amendments, taking into account all the issues that you have raised. I am sure that when those amendments are brought by hon. Abongotum’s-led Committee, every hon. Member will appreciate every aspect of this Bill. I want to say thank you for your great contributions. I am sure that will inform and clearly enrich eventually what we are likely to adopt."
