    "content": "On the issue of governance, I like what Sen. Madzayo has spoken about on how the police officers treat the hon. Members of Parliament. We need to address that so that there is an honor on how you treat MPs. I assure you, Sen. Madzayo, that we shall address that issue under that sub- heading of governance. We know best practices. Some countries have really progressed. If you go to the United Kingdom (UK), the commissioners who head the eight regions are elected by the people. In some of the States in the United States of America (USA), judges are elected in the ballot. This is because they want those dispensing justice and enforcing laws to be accountable to the people. These are issues that we need to put on the table. It is a constitutional moment. I like what Sen. Cherarkey has said that we admitted, as a country, that we had some 30 per cent issue with the Constitution that we enacted in 2010. We will get an opportunity to address all these issues including what has been flagged; the relationship of the two Houses. I thank you and beg to reply."
