    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also stand to support this Motion. I just want to say that at this time when we are in the process of the implementation of the Constitution, there are key issues that need to be addressed, one of them being the timetable on the various legislations that we are supposed to come up with, some within one year, 18 months, four years and five years. So, we need to be up to speed all of us. I also want to say that there are certain things that have not probably been understood well. It is not because we have not read the Constitution but because of certain interpretations. So, I think, as Members of Parliament who are required to get the process moving, we need to really be together on what we are supposed to do. I want to cite certain institutions that need to be put in place. Some of them have already been established. What is required is to make appointments to them. If you read what is going on out there, it is said that we are required to pass legislations, because we are being overtaken by time, and Parliament will probably be dissolved. So, we need to move together so that we understand that some of these things do not really require legislation. We should also understand why no legislation has been brought to this House since we started the implementation process; we have to have the Commission on Implementation of the Constitution in place before we get the process going. With those few remarks, I support. Thank you."
