    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, for the same reasons given by Mr. Kimunya and Mr. Kajwang’ I will find myself unable to support my good friend this time round. In fact, we have scholars who have done a lot of research and work in this area who are not even Kenyans or from Kenyan communities but whose expertise is probably better than people from most of the communities. Therefore, we need to be careful that we do not put into law provisions that betray or tend to undermine the letter and spirit of the Constitution. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, while at it, I would wish the Chair to look at the provisions of New Clause 2B, in the spirit of the new Constitution. There should not be any references to the Minister or Permanent Secretary. They need to clean it up a bit so that we remove references to offices that have ceased to exist. There is no such office as of Permanent Secretary or Minister under the new Constitution. Although this can be corrected at the stage of publishing the Act, I think it is something that can be done even at this stage if the mover agrees so that we are not seen to be moving against the spirit of the new Constitution by using a language that has been overtaken by events."
