    "content": "Hon. Members, I have two Communications to make. First, the promulgation of the Constitution on 27th August, 2010 saw the merging of the Kenya National Human Rights Commission (KNHRC) with the National Commission on Gender and Development (NCGD) to create a new Commission namely the Kenya National Human Rights and Equity Commission (KNHREC) pursuant to Article 59 of the Constitution. The same Article provides for the restructuring of this Commission into two or more commissions. Arising from the foregoing, three Bills have been introduced in the House for consideration namely: The Kenya National Human Rights Commission Bill, 2011, The Commission on Administrative Justice Bill, 2011 and the National Gender and Equality Commission Bill, 2011. The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Development and the Kenya National Human Rights and Equality Commission in conjunction with the Committee on Equal Opportunity and the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare have organized a workshop to be held at the Continental Resort Hotel in Mombasa between Thursday 4th and 6th August, 2011 to deliberate on the three Bills taking into account the provisions of Article 59 of the Constitution, especially in relation to the restructuring of the Kenya National Human Rights and Equality Commission into more commissions. The Minister for Gender, Children and Social Development has invited all hon. Members to attend the workshop and hon. Members wishing to do so are requested to register and indicate their preferred time of departure at the main reception, main Parliament Buildings to facilitate logistical arrangements."
