    "content": "This is an amendment which has been sponsored by the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. We are seeking that the term of the Vetting Board be extended by two years, to lapse on 31st December, 2015, so as to allow the Board to complete the vetting of the 300 magistrates that are still remaining. That way, we will have complied with the new Constitution. Hon. Members are aware that this House approved the appointment of three foreign judges to join the Board. This was as a result of the delay in approving the same by the previous Parliament. Therefore, we are seeking that this House approves this amendment, so that we can operationalise the vetting Board. I wish to request hon. Peter Kaluma, the Member for Homa Bay, to second the Motion."
