    "content": "There is great concern amongst Kenyans that the national referendum that is anticipated on the Draft Constitution may not be held in June this year as provided for in the constitutional review process time-table by the Minister. It is in that light that I wish to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. In his Ministerial Statement, I would like him to clarify the following:- (i) How much money has the Government sent to the Interim Independent Electoral Commission (IIEC) in preparation for the June national referendum? (ii) How much of the estimated cost of carrying out the referendum has the Government committed and has the Treasury, in fact, released those funds? (iii) What is the technical capacity of IIEC to carry out the referendum? (iv) When will a fresh voter registration be done and completed, and have the funds for that exercise been released? (iv) If there is a delay in releasing the funds, why is that so? (v) Has the Government sought any assistance from friendly communities abroad and in Kenya? (vi) What has the Government sought, in terms of finances and technical support, from those communities? (vii) Could the Minister, in fact, assure us that we are on schedule for the referendum in June?"
