    "content": "Thank you. The matter we are dealing with concerns an independent constitutional commission. It is a very serious matter touching on the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). Hon. Members, you remember that the President was here a short while ago. You know the goodwill that he has against corruption and the issues that the Commission is currently dealing with. We gave His Excellency the President a standing ovation. The investigations that we have been undertaking as a Committee have taken us through several documents and hearings. The recess also came midstream. I, therefore, support that we get extension of time. However, I am worried about a whole 10 days. This is because by yesterday what we remained with was to adopt the Report of the Committee. I think it is also a matter that we should not drag for too long. I would support the Motion that we extend time but speaking sincerely to colleagues in Parliament, we need a meeting to go and check on what the Report is, because even the decision was made yesterday. Unless there are changes, I want to request the good Vice- Chair moving the Motion that we reduce the period to five days, so that the nation can go over this issue that is keeping us at a standstill."
