    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I totally agree with hon. Mbadi, but the Constitution is very clear that a Commission like the CIC has two aspects. The extinction of that Commission is based on the finishing of the legislation which is constitutionally bound for five years. I totally agree that these Commissions want to extend their lives by delaying Bills. It must come out very clearly that Parliament is ready, has all the time and the Committees are ready. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want you to direct the CIOC to call these Commissions and expedite these Bills because we have a Committee of Parliament that has been mandated to do the follow up. I want your direction that this Committee calls these stakeholders and makes sure that we do not go through what we went through in the last Parliament, of bringing Bills at the wee hours of the night or getting extensions every now and then. This extension is not necessitated by Parliament, but by other bodies who have failed their mandate. This must come out very clearly even to the nation, as we ask our colleagues to be here on Tuesday, so that we can get the extension."
