    "content": "This is clearly a demonstration that the Constitution is a living document. It is a Constitution that every Kenyan needs to understand. You do not have to visit legal offices and lawyers to interpret for you. It is a Constitution that all of us should be able to talk about. When we were propagating or supporting this Constitution and campaigning across the country, I kept on telling my constituents that there was no need for them to read it because I had read and understood it for them. Yes, I am their representative, but they need to read it for themselves. I was telling them that because I know the challenge faced when a document is put in English. I would urge that people should be more innovative and start translating the Constitution and other laws, but more so, the Constitution, in our local languages. This should be in vernacular, so that my people in the village down there know exactly what the Land Chapter is all about. They should know what it says about community land, private land and land management in general. I would urge this House to pass this Motion, but with the amendment that I have just introduced. I move the amendment and ask my friend, hon. Wario, to second the amendment."
