    "content": "is of the view that more time is required to look into the fundamental issues that are contained in the Bill. Hon. Speaker, I wish to report that, pursuant to Standing Order 127(5), the Committee has already conducted public participation in accordance with Article 118(1)(b) of the Constitution as read together with Standing Orders 127(3) and 127(3A). However, a number of justice sector institutions and members of the public have not yet presented their views. Additionally, serious issues of concern were raised during the public participation. Stakeholder engagements on the Bill require further deliberations. There is also need to review and consider expert opinions as well as conduct comparable studies in other jurisdictions. In view of the foregoing, and bearing in mind the matters provided for in the Bill, further considerations, consultations and public participation is required to ensure that we come up with a robust legal framework for public service integrity. From the foregoing, and pursuant to Standing Order 127(5), the Committee reports this progress on its consideration of the Bill and requests the indulgence of the House, through the House Business Committee, for additional 90 days to conclude the deliberations and table the Report. I wish to finally restate our commitment to process the Bill and ensure that Kenya has a formidable regime to deal with issues of conflict of interest in public life. Thank you."
