    "content": "On the subject of continuity, the Constitution is very clear that there must be continuity. If you wipe out the history and the experience of this people, you have a problem. I am not clear in my mind how to deal with continuity. However, at Independence of this country, we had a Senate and a Lower House. When the two were merged to form what until recently you called the Kenya National Assembly, what happened to the people in the Senate? Those who had six years to go went to the ballot; some got three years, others four years and others six years. I am not suggesting that. What I am saying is that we need to think of how--- We cannot reappoint all of them on the same day and they all leave on the same day. We are saying that they must not overstay; if they do one term, we will have a problem. So, let us have a temporary arrangement, so that in the first Commission we allow at least a third to go to the second Commission. With those few words, I wish to support this Bill."
