    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other Bills included the Powers of Mercy Bill of 2011, the Commission of Revenue Allocation Bill of 2011, The Employment and Labour Relations Court Bill of 2011, The Elections Bill of 2011, The Kenya Citizenship and Immigration Bill of 2011, The Urban Areas and Cities Bill of 2011, The Land and Environmental Court Bill of 2011, The Contingencies Fund and County Emergency Fund Bill of 2011 and the National Government Loans Guarantee Bill of 2011. These are laudable achievements, not only for this House, but also for other agencies involved in this vital process. There should be no panic or apprehension over the achievement of targets for the second round of legislation to be passed within two years. So far, up to 30 Bills, in their final stages of review are expected to be published soon for debate in the House. The ones that have certainly gone through the process and will be ready any time soon include, the Devolved Government Bill of 2011, the Inter- Governmental Relations Bill of 2011, the Transition to Devolved Government Bill of 2011, the Teachers Service Commission Bill of 2011, the Independent Communications Commission of Kenya Bill of 2011, the Media Bill of 2011, the National Land Commission Bill of 2011, the Marriage Bill of 2011 and the Public Financial Management Bill of 2011. These have passed through the process for the three agencies; the Law Reform Commission, the CIC and are now on their way to the Cabinet to then come to Parliament. They have also gone through scrutiny by the drafting Ministries, the stakeholders and the key agencies. Finally, I wish to assure the House, and indeed, all Kenyans that these Bills will not be rushed into this House and Members will have adequate time to interrogate their contents before passing them."
