    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when you come to Chapter 34, I am finding it very difficult to support this Commission; I do not see what it will do that is not done by the other organs. I do not see its real purpose and whether we are going to help the marginalised and those who are suffering. The commission is supposed to help the marginalised people and to reach the people who cannot reach the Commissioner of Police. The commission is supposed to help investigate for someone who cannot use the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC). When you look at its composition, it is an elitist group. It does not serve any purpose. I am finding it very difficult to support it and its composition, unless it is changed so that we can have a commission that will truly represent the marginalised groups, and will really serve the purpose of administrative justice; the way it is, we are just giving people jobs. It will not be effective. When you look at how they will manage their funds, especially on annual estimates, it needs to show a more transparent manner, so that this commission will be able to serve this nation. If it remains the way it is, it will have no purpose, according to me apart from giving jobs to a few people whom we want to help. If it will want to help this nation, it will contribute no value at all, because it will have no powers to prosecute. In the recommendations, they have done nothing about it. Its composition is not clear. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, so, I am finding it difficult to support this Bill the way it is. Thank you."
