"content": "(b) the amendment is supported by a simple majority of the citizens voting in the referendum”. That is very important. However, this country is going through a very trying moment. Every single coin that is spent in this country should go to very meaningful development initiatives. Pumping in an additional Kshs20 billion or Kshs30 billion for us to hold a referendum while we consider, among other things, having positions for fewer individuals, is something that we need to look into as a country. It is not fair for us to have a referendum, spend so much money and do not achieve its purpose. The purpose is to only have a few seats for a few individuals. That is not what we want. People are saying punda amechoka. Some Members are not being sincere. Members need to go back and see why we amended our Constitution in 2010. Is it also right for us to amend our Constitution just because it will benefit a few people after 10 or 15 years? The amendment of the Constitution needs to be for the benefit of the people."
