"content": "This Office was established in this country under very difficult circumstances. The initial intention was to see whether we could restore political stability in Kenya. That has been achieved and Government functions are running well. Now that the Office of the Prime Minster has become a permanent feature in our Constitution and the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs is here, could this Office continue being entrenched and established in our Constitution? The President and the Prime Minister have served us well. This is the system we require in this country - hybrid system. If this is done, the power of the President, the Prime Minister and Parliament will be checked. We should fast-track the reform now because this Office has worked. Initially, there was a lot of pessimism about establishing the Premiership in this country. However, we can see that it is working. The earlier the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs and the Office of the Prime Minister fast-track constitutional reforms, the better. Before we go into the next election we should re-affirm that this Office is in our Constitution."
