    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this proposal. I am a Member of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights. We had a lengthy discussion with this Commission. The Commission is not Mr. Nyachae. Let me confirm to this House that he personally confirmed to the Committee that he is not interested in serving this Commission even if it is given an extension. This clearly indicates that the Commission is not Mr. Nyachae. Secondly, there is a lacuna within the provision of the legislation that is currently governing CIC in terms of handing over the work of the Commission. In that case, it is important for us to see how this Commission’s work can be taken over. The Constitution is a legal instrument. It is the Bible for this country. We need to read between the lines and ensure that it is implemented to that last spirit within those provisions. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have looked at the counties. As a Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights, we have also looked at the legislations that are coming up at the county level. Most of them are inconsistent with the Constitution. It is important for the CIC to remain so that they can oversee that whatever they are doing is within the provision of the Constitution and we do not have any legislations that are developed by the county governments that are inconsistent with the Constitution. It is important for us to retain the CIC so that it continues to build the capacity of the county structure that we have within our counties. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support."
