    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support the adoption of this Report. However, Kenyans seem to forget very easily. Before the ECK Chairman was reappointed, everybody was saying, \"Let us reappoint so-and-so\". We are now crying that he did a bad job. We do not remember how much we wanted him to take up the job. I wonder how much time we are going to take before we do comprehensive reforms. This is because every commission that comes only manages to do piecemeal constitutional reforms. Now, this Report is calling for the disbandment of the ECK. So, we will go to that section of the Constitution and then amend it. This country needs comprehensive constitutional reforms where everything will be addressed whether it is contentious or non-contentious. These issues that are pending now, they will not be pending come 2012. These issues may burn the country again. This Report recommends that a lot of Acts should be changed, for example, the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) Act. It has recommended changes in the way of running the FM stations and so many other things. This is the time for us to look at all the Acts in a comprehensive manner instead of doing piecemeal reforms. We do not have much time within the remaining four years. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support."
