    "content": "One thing that has always exercised the minds of Hon. Members since the last Parliament is the timeliness with which we are supposed to go through the vetting process. Timelines were set but they were not met. The D-day for vetting of judges and magistrates was supposed to be 31st March, 2013 but it never happened. From that time to date, their files have not been touched. It is an oversight on the National Assembly and the Board. We have had very many amendments on this Bill, but this particular provision has kept on eluding us. Now that it is before us today, we request the Board to expedite the process because, as Hon. Chepkong’a has said, the careers and promotions of the magistrates depend on this process which has been put on hold for all this time. That is why I request Members to support this amendment Bill."
