    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to second the Bill. This Bill comes from the Constitution Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC). All we are seeking is to reduce unnecessary expenditure around commissions. Article 59 creates the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights. Article 59 (4) states that Parliament is empowered to create other commissions, and not to split the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights. People may ask why we are seeking to remerge commissions or collapse the National Gender and Equality Commission back to Kenya National Human Rights and Equality Commission. One, we currently have the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights instead of what Article 59 prescribes. Article 59 establishes the Kenya National Human Rights and Equality Commission. We have established the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, not the commission which has been established here, which is the Kenya National Human Rights and Equality Commission. Pursuant to Article 59 (4), this House, in its wisdom, established the National Gender and Equality Commission. So, Members of Parliament can see that we have a commission borrowing a bit of the name from what the Constitution has properly established. First, the Bill is aimed at making corrections so that the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights becomes Kenya National Human Rights and Equality Commission as the Constitution contemplates."
