    "content": "the omnibus approach, when we had just come to Parliament, the Attorney-General brought an omnibus legislation even though it was not relating to the Constitution and many people were not even aware that within it, he had taken over the role of the Prime Minister and given it to Mr. Muthaura. It is only because some of us were diligent. When you bring that approach, then you can bring a legislation that might declare me to be the Speaker of the National Assembly without everybody noticing. So, I would want us to start on a right approach; that when we are dealing with a constitutional amendment, we must be very clear in our minds because this was a negotiation between Kenyans and the sovereign. For us to cede certain authority to the sovereign, we must be consulted yet again when the sovereign wants to take it back from us. We must be clear so that we do not have our minds confused and confounded by so many things. The Constitution is a complex thing. Kenyans want to address one issue and deal with it especially after having gone through such a rigorous process."
