    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, very relevant issues particularly on time limit were raised by the Chair and the Vice-Chair and the rest of the Members. I know very well that Kenyans expected us that as soon as we came back to embark on this exercise--- The Chair and the Vice-Chair have made it very clear that these Bills are not with us, but we are within the time limit. However, it appears like the common trend or the habit of Kenyans of rushing at the last minute is catching up with us in this instance. Let us not, even as a Committee or as the CIC be comfortable with the last minute rush. We must be ready to dispose of these matters as soon as it is possible. Therefore, it is important that this matter be looked at very keenly. Even in the case of public debate, since we want to be accountable and we should have been accountable to the public, it should have been the responsibility of the Committee to come here and ask for a Statement or make a Statement to the effect that none of the Bills are with Parliament. This is because some of these issues sink and poison the minds of the public in relation to the activities of Parliament. I encourage the Parliamentary Oversight Committee to ensure that we do not handle these issues at the last minute, rush and mess them up completely."
