    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to contribute to the State of the Nation Address by His Excellency the President on 4th April in this House. On that day, the House was full and the Members were very attentive. I darted my eyes across and I could not see any Member who was resting his or her eyes. We were all listening to what His Excellency the President had to say about the three key constitutional issues that are to be addressed in the State of the Nation Address. What sent me wondering is that I have recently had the privilege of listening to the State of the Judiciary Address. On this day, we were hearing about the State of the Nation Address. Can we also hear something about the state of the legislature address? I know it is not provided for in the Constitution, but I am also informed that in the near future, there may be a referendum. I do not know when and what the question will be, but I intend to have a question that if there is to be any referendum, we should also have a state of the legislature address when Parliament can account itself to the people of Kenya.
