    "content": "The sub-committee at a meeting held yesterday, Monday, 22nd March 2021, considered the matter of identification of experts. The sub-committee urged the secretariat to ensure that owing to the urgency of the matter, and noting that the matter is one of national and public interest, the engagement of experts be undertaken without delay so that they may commence work. The proposed terms of reference for these experts are: 1. To conduct extensive research on thematic areas identified by the Committee and the issues arising thereafter or on such other issues as maybe, identified by the Committee. 2. To analyse the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020 and advise the Committee on the salient features on the provisions of the Bill. 3. To review submissions received from the public and stakeholders on the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020 4. To regularly advise the Committee on the various thematic areas, and the issues arising thereunder. 5. To attend meetings of the Committee to discuss issues arising thereunder. 6. To provide such other services as maybe necessary on the thematic areas and issues arising thereunder or on such other issues as maybe identified by the Committee. 7. To provide such other advice on the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020 as maybe required by the Committee. 8. To help prepare a final report for approval by the Committee on the various thematic areas, and the issues arising thereunder. We are, therefore, asking for more time to comprehensively consider the Bill and table the report soon thereafter. The grounds for seeking this approval in brief are: a. We have held public participation, received views and memoranda from 65 individual groups and institutions including the promoters. b. Public participation took three full days which extended to the night. c. The Joint Committee held a retreat last Thursday to Sunday inclusive. d. The Committee has therefore sought the Speaker’s approval to engage servants under Standing Order No.203. e. The Committee is collecting divergent views to make the Bill coherent and fully constitutional in all respects. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
