    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, much as I have listened very carefully to hon. Mbadi, first, I do not think that there is a Bill which is more important than the other. I think the spirit of this Motion is the need to carry out as much reforms as possible in the country. Police Reforms are a very critical pillar to our justice system. Even if we had five years to pass these Bills, I think they would still merit to be passed as soon as possible. There is a lot of merit in this Motion. I would like to persuade Members, the timetable notwithstanding, to look at the import of these Bills. What do they mean to the people of Kenya? Mr. Speaker, Sir, last weekend, I was in Webuye to bury the Deputy Mayor of Webuye who was murdered in cold blood. These police reforms have been long in coming. Kenyans have waited for them forever. Let us not squander this opportunity. Other Bills notwithstanding, the fact that this is already seized by this House, any effort to expedite reforms, especially police reforms, should be welcomed. We should do everything possible to ensure that we implement the Constitution by way of passing legislation that operationalizes it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
