    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also wish to add my voice in supporting this Motion. In 2010, this country promulgated a new Constitution which foresaw a lot of changes in this country. I am glad quite a lot is being done in implementing the Constitution, but a lot remains to be done in implementing that Constitution. I would like to urge ourselves as Parliament and the whole Government to make sure that we implement the Constitution, so that it becomes operational. Unless we do that, what is foreseen in the Constitution about devolution and all the good things will not be achieved. This is a very critical year because between now and next year we will have elections which are going to be very different from what we have had in the past. The President, in his Speech, pledged peaceful elections. I hope that everything will be put in place, so that the instruments that will give us peaceful elections will be put in place and we can have peaceful elections. A lot remains to be done in terms of preparation for elections. Quite a number of issues are today in court. Kenya has become a country which is always happy with court issues. I hope that we will have constituencies in time and the IEBC will be ready for elections as planned."
