"content": "The other reason I would like to support this Bill is because it has also, as has been indicated by the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, won the support of the majority of Kenyans. It has already met the threshold in the Constitution of having gone through public participation. That has been done. If Kenyans have agreed, who are we as a House to refuse to agree with what they want? I have gone through my constituency. I was seeking their opinion on this Bill. A majority of them are agreeing with the amendment. If I am here representing the people of Gichugu and that is what they require, I am in order to support. I represent them when I support. They want that date to be moved to December. For avoidance of doubt, I repeat that there is nowhere we are extending the life or period of the presidency, in my interpretation of the Constitution. It falls within the fifth year."
