    "content": "So, I encourage the Commission, as the public watchdog, to see their mandate very broadly. It is not just about laws because they are our watchdog in ensuring that the Constitution is implemented on the outside while this Committee is the watchdog from within. I also note that one of the challenges that they have identified is political. They have noted that the political situation in the country has not been ideal for the implementation of the new Constitution. They have noted under paragraph one on page 30, 5.2 that the existence of the Grand Coalition Government requires high levels of consensus on decisions by the Executive; and that during moments when the coalition partners have differences, the differences manifest themselves in making of key decisions of national importance and invariably delays the process of implementing the Constitution. I want to agree with them that for the process of implementation to move, the President and the Prime Minister should remain steadfast in providing leadership that builds public respect and confidence in the implementation of the Constitution."
