    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity. I also rise to support the extension of time for this Board for a further three months. When the Board appeared before the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and the Committee on the Implementation of the Constitution (CIOC), they made a case which we thought was fair. We have spent a lot of money on this Board. They have been running this exercise for many years. It is only fair that they conclude it neatly and give us a report. They should also prepare their records in all languages that Kenyans can understand, including those living with disabilities, like Braille for the blind. Having come this far, it is only fair that we allow them to conclude in a neat manner. Secondly, this Board has really tried considering all the hurdles and court cases they have gone through. They took some time when they were taken to court but they have tried as much as possible to move forward. Talking, for instance, about Justice Ombija, the law is an ass and we have to follow each and every process. The right for Justice Ombija to appeal or seek for review cannot be wished away. These are our laws which we made for ourselves and we must obey them. In that respect, Hon. Speaker, I support the extension."
