    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I thought hon. Mbadi had read our Report and that is why I went through it in a summary form. Again, there were no issues that were controversial. This was a fairly straightforward matter which we disposed of in the best interests of this country. Since every Member has requested to know under what provision of the law we proceeded, if you look at our Report on Page 6, Paragraph 2 states thus: “The National Cohesion and Integration Commission is established pursuant to provisions of Section 15(1) of the Act which states as follows: “There is established a commission to be known as the National Cohesion and Integration Commission.” Paragraph 3 is relevant to what hon. Mbadi has just spoken to. The membership of the commission is stipulated in the provisions of Section 17 of the Act; they state as follows: “The Commission shall consist of a chairperson appointed by the President from amongst commissioners appointed under Paragraph (b); (b) eight commissioners nominated by the National Assembly in accordance with the First Schedule and appointed by the President.” Hon. Speaker, the First Schedule provides for the qualifications of the proposed commissioners. There are other persons who are automatically members of this Commission who are not nominated by the National Assembly, and who are expected to be in office even as we speak today. Those are the Chairperson of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights the Chairperson of the National Commission on Gender and Development, and the Chairperson of the Public Complaints Standing Committee, popularly known as the Ombudsman. The commissioners are supposed to hold office for a term of three years and they are supposed to elect a chairperson.
