    "content": "Wanawake, Political Parties Liaison Committee, Transparency International and the United Green Movement. I do not want to read all of them but I want to confirm to the House that we received very overwhelming support from those institutions and others that I am not able to mention. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, out of those institutions, 26 supported these amendments while eight did not. In summary, 71 per cent of the institutions and individuals who appeared before the Committee supported these amendments while 28 per cent did not support them. The Committee observed that a big percentage supported the amendments. It is important for us to appreciate the fact that if we go to Kenyans to seek their views and majority of them support the amendments, this House has no option but to go with their wishes. That is my humble view. After all, we are here, courtesy of Kenyans, to exercise their sovereign will. When I say that we do not have an option, I do not gag the House."
