    "content": "15 Wednesday 2nd December, 2015(A) human rights in Kenya was conducted. In 2006, a national stakeholders’ conference was held and this process was officially launched. In 2012 the Cabinet considered the policy paper. This Sessional Paper was tabled in this House this year. My concern is that from the time this process started in 2005 to 2015 it is a period of 10 years. If we take 10 years to formulate a policy or a sessional paper, then how long will it take this Government to implement the same? The implication is that if the Jubilee Government takes 10 years to come up with a policy paper, then it does not need to implement it. The Jubilee Government can just come up with a policy paper and wait for another Government to implement it. This is a very good Sessional Paper. I wish to thank the stakeholders who were involved in coming up with this Paper. If the Government fails to implement the Sessional Paper, we will have wasted taxpayers’ money. The document will just lie on the shelves of a number of State departments if it is not implemented. The key issue is the implementation of this Paper. On page 41 of the document, it is indicated that a detailed implementation of this policy will be through periodic National Action Plans on Human Rights. The document is also very specific as to the need to review the Sessional Paper every five years. However, my concern is that as much as we are saying we shall review this document every five years, when is the first year starting? Is it 2015, 2016 or 2030? It should be very clear, so that we know which is the first year and the fifth year."
