I, therefore, wish to convey to the House that my Office is in receipt of a Petition from a Mr. Gibson Machanga Mareko. Hon. Members, pursuant to Article 119 of the Constitution, the Petitioner is requesting the National Assembly to enact legislation to provide for the establishment of Money Motivated Crimes Elimination Commission, whose mandate shall be to address all money motivated crimes. The Petitioner refers to the following crimes as money motivated crimes: Drug trafficking, corruption, tax evasion, cattle rustling, kidnapping, robbery and money laundering, among others. The Petitioner also prays that the National Assembly proposes amendments to other relevant laws as contemplated in Article 252 of the Constitution so as to assign functions and powers to the proposed Commission. Hon. Members, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.227, the Petition stands committed to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for its consideration within the relevant period which is stipulated in our Standing Orders. I thank you. Does somebody want to make a comment? Hon. Gatobu, you still have not realized that you have to log in?"
