"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I must congratulate the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs who has been my colleague in one of the committees. I rise to support in camaraderie with my colleagues. This Commission has to be in place. Kenya cannot afford to continue prevaricating on matters to do with anti-corruption issues. We cannot continue to waste a lot of time. There has been a lot of instability in these institutions which we keep establishing to sort out some of these very important integrity questions that have continued to afflict the Kenyan public. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as of now that institution has been without leadership for quite a period of time. We are now moving towards ensuring that institutions devolve. We will also devolve and disburse millions of shillings. This particular institution which is a watchdog institution cannot possibly be leading itself to watch over all the counties and the Kenya Government. Without leadership at the helm that is stable, we will be failing. A few minutes ago we were discussing about implementation of issues to do with Chapter Six which must be done before August. Unless this particular institution that is supposed to drive that particular aspect and ensure that Chapter Six is operationalized is in place, I think there will be confusion all over the place and we may not even be facing the election in a manner envisaged by the new Constitution. For this and several other reasons, because I know very many hon. Members want to contribute, I want to say I support. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
