    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it will be recalled that after the address by His Excellency, the President yesterday, I gave notice of the Motion that I am now happy to move. This is a momentous time. I think it is in order that we realize that we are literally in a new political dispensation and that we are truly beginning to see the effect of the decision that Kenyans ably took which led to the promulgation of our new Constitution on 27th August, 2010. I want to thank His Excellency, the President for taking leadership at that critical time when it looked like some of us were not clear on the sense of direction. The President literally blazed the trail, campaigning for the new Constitution along with many of us. Eventually, not just the country but also the region and the world did applaud the very bold step this country took. To rewrite and promulgate a new constitution anywhere in the world today is a monumental achievement. However, it is not enough to promulgate the Constitution without breathing life into this document. I am on record as saying that this august House - the Tenth Parliament - has the historic opportunity of moving this country forward in terms of the reform agenda."
