    "content": "operations on 29th July 2003. In 2010, the 2002 Act was repealed and the new one was constituted under Article 59 of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. The Bill proposes to merge the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights and the National Gender and Equality Commission to form the Kenya National Human Rights and Equality Commission as established by Article 59 of the Constitution. In 2011, Parliament established three commissions, namely, the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, the National Gender and Equality Commission and the Commission on Administrative Justice. One reason advanced by the proponents of the Bill is that merging the two units will reduce Government expenditure thereby saving taxpayers’ money, so that they run only one unit. Another reason given by the proponents of the Bill is that broadly speaking, gender issues fall within the sphere of human rights. That means that the differences in the functions of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights and the National Gender and Equality Commission are very negligible. So, merging the two commissions will avoid duplication of roles. The opponents claim that the two commissions play very distinct roles. That the ten years that caused it to collapse was too soon for them to be able to judge whether it had been effective."
