    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 28, this House adjourns until Tuesday, 29th September, 2015, in accordance with the Calendar of the Assembly (Regular Sessions). From the outset, I want to congratulate the Kenyan sportsmen and sportswomen who are currently flying the Kenyan flag high, through their exemplary performance at the 2015 International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) World Championships in Beijing, China. We are truly a hotbed of vibrant talent and this has been clearly demonstrated in the World Championships where Kenya is currently holding the first position with 11 medals in total, 6 of them being gold. Hon. Deputy Speaker, today Kenya marks five years since the promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. Parliament has played its part in putting in place the legislations required for the implementation of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, in accordance with the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution. All the required legislations have been enacted except the year-five ones, for which we have extended the deadline for their consideration by one year. Parliament cannot be blamed for not passing those Bills by today, 27th August 2015 because some of them were submitted to Parliament late. In fact, some of the year-five Bills have not yet been forwarded to Parliament. How can Parliament legislate on a Bill that is not before it? Without shifting blame, I would like to draw the attention of the House to the provisions of the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, paragraph 6(b); which states that the function of the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC) is to coordinate with the Attorney-General and the Law Reform Commission in preparing for tabling in Parliament the legislations required for implementation of the Constitution. Therefore, failure is not on Parliament but on the other stakeholders. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
