    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Statement from the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs on the capacity or lack of capacity of the Chief Justice to issue a delegated legislation under Acts that fall under his jurisdiction. I asked him about a matter that is very critical now. Kenya is facing two by- elections in two Parliamentary constituencies and as of now, the Chief Justice has not acted in accordance with Section V of the Political Parties Act. He has not appointed members to the Political Parties Tribunal to be approved by the House. In the event that a dispute arises in any of these by-elections, what will the country do? Secondly, again, the failure of the Chief Justice to issue delegated legislation under his jurisdiction, his failure to issue rules under Section 47(A) of the Sexual Offences Act which have resulted in disparities in sentencing by magistrates in the country. For nearly a year now, the Chief Justice has failed to issue rules. Why has he failed to act as the law requires in these two matters? This is very urgent!"
