    "content": "necessary laws or what was there was not biting enough. They could not enforce what they needed because of the weakness of law or lack of resources. But looking at the crisis which we face in this country today in terms of tensions and conflict, whether at the Coast, North Eastern Province, Upper Eastern or Western Kenya, we have a country that is not at peace. That is why this Commission is very important for this country and actually, I do believe, unlike the other commissions in our Constitution where they have the priviledge of having three to eight members, this one, we must have at least eight members if not more. But since the law only provides for eight members plus the chairman, we need as many commissioners as we can so that they can serve and work may be in teams as they address these crisis and problems in different parts of our country. So, given the magnitude of the work they have and the problems that are in hand today in terms of conflict and lack of peace in our country, we do need this Commission. It is very important that members are appointed and the Commission constituted as soon as possible. They need to address the conflicts at the Coast, North Eastern, Western, Upper Eastern and other parts where these conflicts are likely to emerge. With those few remarks, I strongly support the Report."
