    "content": "Affairs and Human Rights to come up with a schedule that says that these laws will now be done within a specific period, so that we do not extend the life of the CIC and yet we do not give ourselves a deadline. We should do another Fifth Schedule so that the passing of these laws and regulation are specific to a timetable. This is very important. For example, I know that there is no county in the Republic of Kenya which has set up a village council. Yet, when you read the Constitution as well as the County Governments Act, village councils are actually the foundation of devolution. The way that village councils are to be established is dependent on laws passed by the Senate, the National Assembly and also on regulation on how village councils will be paid by county assemblies. Therefore, this is extremely important work ahead of us and I think that we should be humble enough to understand that we have failed the CIC. The CIC should be there for a specific period and we should also have a schedule of what we will do. Finally, the Commission is not the Chairman. In fact, the Commission is not the commissioner. The Commission is the Commission. If any member dies, goes away from Kenya or is not willing to serve in the Commission, other people will be accordingly appointed according to law to be in the Commission. So, whether the Chairman has committed himself to serving or not, that is not material. What is material is that we have a Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution composed according to law, which will be there in the time period necessary for Parliament to pass the 18 remaining laws and their regulations superintended by the CIC. I beg to support."
