    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me at the very outset to congratulate this House and your office for the historic moment that you are presiding over this afternoon. It will be recalled that in the course of this year, the Interim Independent Electoral Commission (IIEC) in a period of only 45 days managed to register 12.6 million voters in this country. Following that successful exercise, on 4th August this year, 72 per cent of those people who registered to vote actually turned out to vote in a historic referendum. Out of that 72 per cent, 69 per cent voted for approval of this Constitution. I am happy and very proud to be Kenyan as I speak this afternoon that even the other 30 per cent or so, who were saying “no” have now come to join the rest of Kenyans in the implementation of this very important Constitution."
