    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, the country and indeed, the world is holding their breath to see whether this House would rise to the occasion in order to legislate the solutions that are so urgently needed to the problems that this country faced following the December, 2007 General Elections. I would like to salute and join my colleagues hon. Orengo and hon. Karua, in supporting this Motion. I stand to support it. Not enough can be said about the need to merely reduce the publication period of these Bills from 14 days to six days in order to enable the country to know what this Parliament has regarding the solutions that arose from the mediation team that this country appointed for purposes of finding a solution to those problems. I would like also to say, in conclusion, that this is the first legislation to be tabled on the Floor of the House arising from the mediation talks in this country involving the African Union (AU). Above all, I would like to draw the House's attention to the fact that the problems that we faced nothwithstanding, the Constitution stood its ground. Hence, one of the Bills is going to be seeking the amendment of that Constitution, in order to facilitate legislation for purposes of solving problems. So, to that extent, the Constitution of the country requires salute. Before I sit down, I want to pay tribute to the President and to the Prime Minister- designate, hon. Raila, because without them, what we are going to be debating, if this Motion is 62 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES March 12, 2008 passed, would not have been possible. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
