    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have done soul-searching. I have looked at the document that has been prepared by the Kenya Law Reform Commission (KLRC), I have looked at the Constitution and I have consulted with the Chair of CIOC. Without fear of any contradiction, I support the Report of the Committee that the TA, at the clock of the hour midnight on 4th March, 2016, should fold up and go home. I say so because that extension requires a constitutional amendment. In the reading of the Sixth Schedule, Section 15(1) says:- “Parliament shall, by legislation, make provisions for the phased transfer, over a period of not more than three years from the date of the first election of county assemblies, from national Government to the county government of the functions as assigned to them under Article 183, 184, 185 and 186.” The confusion was the extension we gave to the Judges and Magistrates Vetting Board. If you look at Article 23 of the Sixth Schedule, you will realize that it gives powers of extension to the Judges and Magistrates Vetting Board. That is why as soon as I leave here, I am going to talk to Joash Dache, the Secretary and the Chief Executive Officer of KLRC. That is because he has misled me through a document that he has sent me. The extension we gave to the Judges and Magistrates Vetting Board, we drew that mandate from Section 23 of the Sixth Schedule and, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
