    "content": "I support this Motion. I have confidence in the 14 Members of Parliament (MPs) who have been selected to represent all of us in Parliament in discussing this very delicate issue. We trust that they will consider every one of those aspects which have been mentioned as their mandate. The only thing is that the interest in the entire country on this issue will be huge. I have doubts whether 30 days would be adequate. I know we have pressure for time but I believe that 30 days are not sufficient for the number of Kenyans who are now aware of their rights who will come forward. They will need much more time than this. I believe that we should give everybody time so that after this report, we do not have Kenyans who are still grumbling because they did not have time. So, I would suggest that we give 45 days so that every one of these Kenyans who would want to say something can come forward and make their comments. Secondly, at the beginning of every commission that we have appointed in this country, people have confidence in it, but it only requires that commission to conduct one election and suddenly, there is no confidence in that election. I suggest that from here, every commission that is appointed in this country conducts only one election so that the time cycle we can give for a commission is to end at the mid-term of a Government so that every other time we have a new commission, it has time to acclimatize or learn how to conduct an election because we now know that at the end of one cycle of election, Kenyans do not have confidence in the results of that election because there are many Kenyans who are losers. Once you lose, you think that the system that has been used is bad. However, on the whole, I support the formation of this Committee."
