    "content": "I want to make special mention of the fact that committees received and considered views from Hon. Members, committees of the House and Parliamentary caucus groups within Parliament. For the first time, the public was requested to submit memorandum. It was done deliberately because of instances when Parliament has been taken to court. Unfortunately, this is an area which the public is not very interested in and for good reason. This is a basic thought for Members of Parliament themselves and they did not give any representation. Members of the National Assembly, together with some committees, gave some views which we considered as a Committee. The first one was the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC) which made submissions on raising of points of order, lapsing and reintroduction of Bills proposed, expediting and processing of Bills, and incorporation of the CIOC in the Standing Orders. Hon. Aden Duale, Member for Garissa Township, also made submissions on, amongst others, the place of omnibus Bills. I am sure Members are quite familiar with omnibus Bills in the legislative process. He also proposed the strengthening of leadership offices, namely, the offices of the leaders of the majority and minority parties and majority and minority whips. He also mentioned the consideration of the Constitution of Kenya amendment Bills and handling of Members’ personal data. The Parliamentary Caucus on Business and Economy made submissions regarding the handling of treaties by Parliament which you will get to know. I urge Members to read the Report.
