I wish to echo the observations of Mr. Abdikadir Mohamed, the Member for Mandera Central who called for the cultivation of the culture of constitutionalism without which the Constitution becomes a mere paper. Constitutionalism can be broadly defined as the bundle of ideas, attitudes and patterns of societal behaviour which shows a subscription by that society to, and a belief by it, in the principle that all authority of the Government derives from and is limited by the Constitution and exists to advance the common good and welfare of that society. Hon. Members, I want to plead with all of us, the leadership and the people of this country that we all imbibe from the fountains of constitutionalism so that it becomes part of our lives and our adherence to the Constitution ceases to be laboured legalistic and minimalist."
