    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can do that. The first one is legislation on leadership under Article 80 of the Constitution. Under that Article, we now have a Bill; the Leadership and Integrity Bill (2012). That Bill has already been developed. It is currently being reviewed by the Kenya Law Reform Commission. It is now being sent to CIC for further review. We hope that this Bill will be published in the month of June. Number two is on the right to recall under Article 104 of the Constitution. This has been done under the Elections Act. Therefore, the publication is not relevant, because already, it has been done. Three is determination of the question of membership of Parliament; that has already been done under the Election Act. Therefore, the timelines or publication date is not necessary. Four is right to petition Parliament under Article 119 of the Constitution. We are looking at the law now. My Ministry is in consultation with stakeholders with a view to developing a policy which will guide the petition process. Fifth is the assumption of the Office of the President under Article No.141. The Bill to be enacted here is Assumption of office of President Bill, 2012. The Bill has been developed and is currently with the Cabinet for consideration and approval. We hope that this month of June the Bill will be published. Sixth, we have the Judiciary Fund under Article No.17. This has already been enacted under the Judicial Service Act. Seventh, there is the Financial Control under Article 225. This is the Public Finance Management Bill, 2012 which is before this House. Eight, there is The National Security Organs under Article 239. We have three Bills here; The National Security Council Bill, 2012, The National Intelligence Service Bill, 2012 and The Kenya Defence Forces Bill, 2012. These three Bills have also been developed and they are currently with the Commission for Implementation of the Constitution (CIC) for review. We hope that this will be published in this month of June. Ninth, we have the command of national police service under Article 254. All these have already been enacted under the National Police Service Act 2011 and the Independent Policing Oversight Act, 2010. Therefore the dates for publication are not necessary. I think this is the overview of the Bills that we need to do on or before 27th August, 2012. I hope that it is now clear to my colleagues because I have been able to clearly explain the various stages which we are with those Bills."
