    "content": "This is a good Bill. As a House, we should pass it. This shows that, as a country, we have been going through a lot of problems because of the Companies Bill that we passed in 2015. The implementers of that Act have discovered that they cannot implement everything. Therefore, they have brought it back to us to help them amend it so that it can be implementable. It is about time we started thinking about how to amend our Constitution. Some things are impossible to be implemented and it is our duty as leaders and people of this country to tell Kenyans the truth on what is implementable and what is not. On what is not implementable, we need to tell them what we can do as a country and as leaders of this country to address it. If a referendum is needed to change those parts so that it can be implemented to the fullest, let us do it. I am speaking in reference to what is about to come to this House. There is one part of the Constitution that has become very difficult for us to implement and I think, as a House, we need to understand that we cannot implement everything. If that part is un-implementable, we need to take it back to Kenyans and tell them: “This is not implementable. What can we do?” We need to bring a referendum to change that part so that the Constitution can be implemented. This is an example of big documents that we passed but when you try to implement them, they are un- implementable. Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me a chance."
