"content": " Madam Temporary Speaker, the distinguished Senator was in the “No” camp and they were running around with Hon. William Ruto with red cards. The only point they were talking about was homosexuality which was fraudulent and false because it was not in the Constitution. They never talked about the issue that I am talking about. In any case, only fools have got minds that Lenin said are like concrete, all mixed up and permanently set. However, if you are not a fool, you have the right to change your mind any time. Besides, when we went to the referendum, there was the group with red cards that was saying; Rekebisha tupitishe and there was a group of us who said; Pitisha turekebishe . So, each one of us agreed that there was something in the Constitution that needed to be changed. Rekebisha tupitishe and Pitisha turekebishe were the competing philosophies about the Constitution. I was among those who were saying; pitisha turekebishe . This is the time for us to start thinking of kurekebisha . Although he is a professor of Mathematics, I believe that along his readings, he has read some philosophy, law and basics. Every new Constitution the world over is subjected to a public audit after five years to see whether all the contents work for the people and if they are sustainable or not. That is why I am surprised that every time we say let us look at the Constitution, Jubilee Members start saying that tunataka nusu mkateama sijui nini, but we are not interested in being part of this corrupt Government. We want a good Constitution to help run the country. This can only be done in a bi-partisan manner."
