    "content": "Commission so as to ensure that matters relating to salaries and remuneration of State and public officers were not unduly delayed due to the absence of commissioners. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a straight forward amendment which the Committee on Finance and Budget realize is very critical. As you have noted, there was a lapse of about six months before we could get new commissioners and that meant that people who were employed by some institutions could not get their due letters or processed so as to commence working for this nation. I thank the Member of the Committee on Finance and Budget and the secretariat for identifying this gap after carrying out the process that was tedious. We did not have timelines so it was a Laissez-faire . The Committee decided to work hard to fill that gap. This is a milestone for the Senate because we saw a gap that had existed for some time and we are up to the task. We request the Senators to support this amendment so that we can fill that gap. I conclusion, it is important to acknowledge the submissions by the various stakeholders. As a requirement by law, in every law that we intend to pass it has always been mandatory to carry out public participation as we did on this Bill. We carried out public participation and in that regard, I would like to recognize and acknowledge the submissions made by the following stakeholder- (a) The National Treasury and Planning; (b) The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR); (c) The African Women Studies Centre (AWSC), the University of Nairobi; (d) The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), and, (e) Mr. John Gachoki, a member of public who sounds like a man from my home area. We are always very diligent when looking into these issues."
