Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to oppose this Motion. There is no point of extending the sitting hours of this House after we brought an Article touching on national security interest and majority of hon. Members went out. So, what is the point of extending the sitting hours of the House?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the sake of this country, first and foremost, I am not hon. David Musila. So, I have to move my amendment, which appears on the Order Paper. Hon. Musilaâs amendment is different from mine. My amendment seeks to amend Article 50 such that members of the disciplined forces may not be affected by that Article. So, the two amendments are not the same. So, allow me to move my amendment as it is.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, can I be heard? When you look at Article 24; limitation of rights, there are certain institutions which we need to exclude in these rights.

If say that every person is entitled to certain rights, there are certain rights, uniformed or disciplined forces are not supposed to be subjected to.

I would like, at the very beginning, to thank Members of this august House for giving me the opportunity to serve as a Member of the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC).

It is a fact that Kenyans have waited for far too long - for almost two decades - to get a new Constitution. Success is about failing nine times and getting up ten times. This is our opportunity in this House. We must give Kenyans a new Constitution. It ...
