    "content": " Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to thank the Minister for bringing this Bill. I am just going to make general remarks because we have been taken through the Bill by the Deputy Prime Minister. Under the Constitution, the main organs for enabling or implementing legislation is the Kenya Law Reform Commission, the Constitution Implementation Commission (CIC), the Office of the Attorney-General and to some extent the line Ministries. However, the point here must be bid that specifically looking at the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution and Section 261 of the Constitution, the duty and functions of these three bodies are very important and critical. I initially have thought that the CIC has a peripheral role in terms of the preparation and tabling of these Bills before they are actually published and discussed in Parliament. If you look at the schedule, the work of the Commission is larger than it seems and, indeed, they are required to get involved in the preparation of the Bill and audit it against the Constitution to come up with a conclusion as to whether or not any legislation coming before this House not only meets the time lines, but is in consonance with the constitutional arrangement. So, within that"
