    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support. I am supporting this as a Member of the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC); the Committee that has been over-sighting the implementation of the Constitution. This Committee has the membership of hon. Mbadi and hon. Ethuro and they know very well that we have been fighting with the Executive about these Bills. We have been telling them that they are delaying and we do not have time. If I recall well, last week when we met, one of the concerns of the CIOC is how we could extend sitting hours to ensure that these Bills are done with by the time the deadline is here. We agreed on that. The other thing that we agreed on was that we do not have to wait for one or two years for the police reforms, that, in fact, we needed them yesterday and not today. Any person who has been elected as a Member of Parliament in this National Assembly is capable of reading Bills within six days or even a day. Hon. Ruto can do so. That is why he went to school and that is why he was elected a Member of Parliament for Chepalungu. So, the issue of time does not arise. This is something that I can do within three days. Reading and understanding, that is why you went to school!"
