    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to also make my contribution. We have to learn from the previous process that did not yield a new Constitution. I am going to make three points. First, Clause 2, the Commission that we are going to constitute is supposed to operate December 16, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4139 without any control whatsoever from any other person or authority. The last Commission had the problem of availability of money and quick access to it. The secretary then, Dr. P.L.O Lumumba, did not make secret the fact that the Constitution of Kenya Review Commission (CKRC) had problems with accessing money, because the Executive was impeding its way. The point that I want to make, and I hope that the Minister for Finance is listening, the Commission must be properly facilitated; funds must be available without delay and at the right time. Secondly, we have to agree about the issue of gender, which has been mentioned by Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona. Let me emphasize the question of regions. We have nine Commissioners and eight provinces. So, we expect provincial representation in this matter. It does not matter how the process is arrived at. Thirdly, the Departmental Committee on Administration of Justice and Legal Affairs has done a commendable job, under the Chairmanship of Mr. Abdikadir. I am disappointed at the names that have been produced and Mr. Abdikadir has been left out. I hope that we shall correct that mistake. With those few remarks, I support."
