    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to second this Motion. In seeking this short extension to the National Dialogue Committee’s term, we are simply exercising abundance of caution as rightly put by Hon. Ichung’wah. As a matter of fact, we may not actually need those 30 days. Since we are aware that the Senate is going on recess on 19th of October 2023, it would be advisable that we take this precaution that we act proactively so that we get this Committee given the life it requires to undertake its work to conclusion. If there is something we have learnt throughout the term of this Committee so far, it is that Kenyans of all walks of life, various backgrounds and diverse schools of thought have come before us to express themselves robustly on issues they feel strongly about. Issues they feel this Committee should deal with over and above even the issues we had outlined earlier on. We have seen for instance far-reaching recommendations coming forth from the Judiciary, the Supreme Court, Council of Governors and Council of the County Assemblies Forum. They have all come before us to make recommendations. Including the clamour to introduce a ward development fund which was not in the initial agenda. The clamour to make devolution work by strengthening the counties by way of increasing their equitable share of revenue and so on.
