    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will recall that this Committee was appointed on 9th of July, 2013, to look at ways of proposing a Bill to establish a one-stop public compensation bureau in each county to facilitate payment of claims by citizens against various organizations and institutions. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Committee has embarked on its work in earnest and it has made considerable achievements. However, there are challenges; one of the challenges we have had to face is the conflicting schedules with other Committees of the Senate to the extent that our sittings have been adversely affected and we have lost some time because of that. There has also been the need to examine previous legislation, together with existing legislation, which might be relevant to our work. This process takes a lot of time. We are also awaiting the participation of the Office of the Commission on Administrative Justice to ensure that all stakeholders are involved in the preparation of this Draft Bill. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in light of all that and taking into consideration the need to involve other stakeholders, including the counties, the essence of this Motion is really to request for a further three months to enable this Committee to accomplish its mandate. I appeal to colleague Senators, in considering this Motion, to be understanding and to grant the time requested. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move and request the Senate Majority Leader to second."
