    "content": "It is a bad law and we have given examples. We have said Sections 4 and 5 of this Bill violates Article 37 of the Constitution in so far as it attempts to constrict the right to assemble, the right to demonstrate, the right to picket and the right to petition. All other provisions we have mentioned like Article 49, Article 29 and many Articles of the Constitution are violate d by this Bill. There is absolutely no reason why we should use an ordinary piece of legislation to attempt to amend the Constitution. You should all be supporting Okoa Kenya and Pesa Mashinani so that we can amend the Constitution in a proper way and in a direct way. Let me conclude by saying that this is a sad day. That is why I am dressed like a man in a funeral, because today is a funeral in this Parliament. We are mourning the death of all the constitutional gains that we have had."
