    "content": "When we passed the Constitution in 2010, we were told that after ten years we would have an opportunity to reflect back and audit what has been implemented to see how it has worked and then on the basis of that audit, we would determine what to change. It is now eight years since we passed the Constitution. This is an opportunity for Kenyans to reflect on what has been implemented, what has worked and, what has not worked. It is only after having a structured process of implementation of the Constitution and an audit of what has been implemented we can determine what needs to be changed and what needs to be maintained. If we encourage piecemeal amendments to the Constitution, we will go back what we had initially. You remember the Independence Constitution went through numerous amendments to the extent that it became unfavourable to the country. That is why Kenyans started the process of total overhaul of the Constitution. So, we do not want to get back to where we have come from as a country."
