I do so because I was the secretary of the Cabinet committee that looked at Article 59(4) that provides that you can actually split the human rights commission into two or more commissions. What the Cabinet committee decided to do was to create three commissions: the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, the Commission on Administrative Justice and the National Gender and Equality Commission. What has motivated this move by the Committee, which I can understand, is that they have looked at it as a gender equality commission rather than as a gender and equality commission. If you do that, then it reduces the essence of the commission to gender issues and leaves out matters of equality. Maybe what would have happened was to find out how to enhance the equality element, which is a little bit beyond gender. I would have left this commission as the gender commission and take away the equality aspect to the human rights commission and emphasise the equality element. Why do I say that? It is because if the objective of this Bill is to abolish this The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
